Digital Craftsman (Developer/Photographer/Content Creator)
I'm Manuel, but you might know me online as "Card". I'm a budding full-stack developer based in Germany, having embarked on this coding journey a little under a year ago. Despite my relatively short time in the field, I have developed a profound passion for it. I am constantly pushing myself to learn more and enhance my skills, which range from front-end to back-end development.
Outside of coding, I have a passion for photography and content creation. I often find similarities between the two fields, both requiring a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of complex systems.
Whether it's through lines of code or a camera lens, I'm always looking to create and learn. Feel free to explore my projects and get in touch if you have any questions or collaborations in mind.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and photography work dried up, I found myself seeking a new challenge. That's when I stumbled upon coding. I started off with Python, creating small projects and getting a feel for the language.
One night, an ad for a development job popped up on my Instagram. Despite feeling underqualified due to my limited experience, I decided to apply. To my surprise, they called back. During the interview, I was honest about my novice status in the field.
Impressively, they decided to take a chance on me. This opportunity expanded my horizons beyond Python, introducing me to C#, JavaScript, and TypeScript. Working in this role has been an enlightening journey. Every day presents a chance to learn something new and to continue developing my skills.
I've come a long way since those first days of dabbling in Python, but there's still so much more to explore. Have a look through my repositories to see my progress and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to collaborate on a project.
