About Me
Hey there! 👋 I'm Augustin Mauroy, a high school student passionate about the fascinating world of web development. 🌐 Originally from Belgium, I'm making my way in the digital universe as a web developer.
My Journey in Web Development
I started learning web development in 2021 by diving into HTML and CSS. Later, I discovered the wonders of JavaScript for front-end development and even dove headfirst into the turbulent waters of Node.js. In 2022, I ventured into Next.js and React, which have become my favorite companions for web development.
My heart particularly beats for creating static websites. I love using Next.js to build performant and reactive sites, and I add a touch of interactivity by using MDX to integrate dynamic content into my static pages.
My web development skills are a mix of HTML, CSS (I particularly enjoy working with TailwindCSS), and JavaScript. My experience with JavaScript is vast and diverse, ranging from frameworks and packages to mastering Node.js. But I don't stop there; I've also adopted TypeScript for a more robust approach.
In the fascinating universe of front-end web development, I'm also skilled in design and use Figma to bring my creative ideas to life. ✨
My Open Source Contributions
I firmly believe in the power of collaboration and open source. I've had the privilege of contributing to various open source projects, each bringing its share of learning and enrichment. Among my most significant contributions:
Node.js
Translation of Node.js
Since August 2022, I've contributed to the translation of Node.js, helping to make this essential resource accessible to a wider audience.
Node.js Website
Starting in October 2022, I rolled up my sleeves for the Node.js website, even participating in the site's redesign using React. This experience allowed me to dive deeper into the world of front-end development.
Contributions
In parallel, I contributed to solving various issues and making improvements to projects, demonstrating my commitment to the community.
Node.js Website Team
In August 2023, I was appointed to the Node.js website team, allowing me to actively contribute to the Node.js website.
Node.js Website Redesign
In March 2024, the website team completed the redesign of the Node.js website, which allowed me to contribute to the redesign of the Node.js website. Here is an article about the website redesign
Other Skills
In addition to my web development skills, I have a solid foundation in Git, Docker, and CI/CD. I've used these tools to streamline my development workflow and ensure my projects are always up-to-date and running smoothly.
My Academic Journey
My academic journey has primarily explored mathematics and sciences until I made an exciting turn towards computer science. My native language is French, but I'm also proficient in English (B2 level) and have basic knowledge of Dutch (A1 level).
My Diplomas
- Certificate of Basic Education (CEB)
- Certificate of the First Degree of Secondary Education (CE1D)
- Certificate of the Second Degree of Secondary Education (CE2D)
I'm excited to continue expanding my horizons in the fields of web development and science, and to contribute to creating engaging and innovative online experiences. Let's connect and collaborate to bring great (and surely the craziest) ideas to life! 🚀
My Passions and Hobbies
Outside of web development and open source contributions, I have a full life! I'm a passionate gamer and love diving into virtual worlds, whether it's in Minecraft where I code datapacks and bots in JavaScript, or in titles like Assassin's Creed, Forza, and CS:GO.
When I'm not immersed in the digital world, I enjoy tinkering with electronics projects. I created an LED strip connected to Apple HomeKit using Arduino, which allows me to combine technology and creativity.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
