Thomas Sankara SankThomas

Hi there 👋

My name is Thomas Sankara. I am a front-end web designer and developer. I use Figma and ReactJs mainly, and I am based in Nairobi, Kenya.

I am improving my web design knowledge by continually building web apps, websites and mobile apps in Figma.
NextJs to build better React-based web applications.
Mobile app development using React-Native.
Desktop application development using ElectronJs.

I run my YouTube Channel where I post videos about projects I build, designs I make and challenges I complete. What started off as a way to show recruiters that I can actually do the things they interview about has now become something that I want to make long term. So my current goal is to get up to 100,000 Subscribers (currently at 4,700) and to reach 100,000 daily views (currently at 20,000).
I'm building a catalogue of projects, both designs and builds - all completely free and accessible.

I currently only have 3 projects on this Figma board. I will be using this board for all web design projects. I will let you know of any changes.
I (might) also create a dedicated repository for the projects. However I'm thinking about linking the respective repositories in the designs so that no one repo will be extremely huge and daunting.

I love "Design to Code" challenges because they are not only engaging, they also teach you design principles and can the jumpstart you need into to Front-end developer career.
I write poems to express how I feel about something - you might read some of them in future but they are all in a vault for now.
I think a lot. I don't know whether this qualifies as a hobby. I also write what I think which usually isn't really "normal stuff" (not normal to me at least) but I like it. I decided to compile all that stuff into one big book filled with my thoughts. Do you want to read it? I do too.
I play the keyboard. 😁
