Hi, I'm Tania
I'm a full-stack software developer specializing in modern JavaScript. I write about what I know and break down complex concepts in an accessible and intuitive way.
I like making things from scratch and learning in public. My open source projects include an MVC framework, a CSS framework, an old-school emulator, and the optimized dark theme for web development.
