Hi, I'm Maksym.

Junior Frontend / Web Developer

I build interactive and responsive web applications using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Computer Science background with a strong foundation in algorithms and data structures. Frontend-focused, building toward full-stack.

About

I am a Computer Science student at Sacramento City College with a strong interest in web development and practical software engineering. I am currently close to completing an Associate Degree in Computer Science, an Associate Degree in Web Development (Cal-GETC GE), as well as several certificates, including Web Developer Certificate, Front-End Web Developer Certificate, and Computer Science Certificate.

During my studies, I have focused on building real, working projects using JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and jQuery. I enjoy creating interactive and responsive interfaces and writing code that actually does something useful, not just small isolated examples. Alongside frontend work, I have built a solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, discrete mathematics, and computer architecture.

I plan to continue my education at San Francisco State University to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. My goal is not just to get a diploma, but to strengthen my understanding of backend systems, software engineering, and how full applications work from start to finish.

Right now, my main focus is frontend development, but my long-term goal is to grow into a full-stack developer. I want to combine strong UI skills with a deeper understanding of data, system design, and application logic, and keep building projects that feel complete and well-structured.
