What's up everybody. I'm Dell.

I'm an aspiring front-end engineer. I recently completed my Masters in Computer Science and looking to find my niche in web development. I know JavaScript well enough to build websites but I want to MASTER it. I've been learning React as well and I'm sure that's the direction I wanna go.

After following countless tutorials and building a few websites, I'm at point where I feel I've hit a wall when it comes to creating new projects. They say the best way to learn is by doing but I don't know what projects I should build or contribute to. Open Source is overwhelming and every time I look at a git repo my head explodes. I want to kill that fear.

I'm hoping this community can help me become a better thinker and programmer, pushing me over that wall.
