I strive to build amazing experiences

My name is Rolando Lopantzi, I am currently working towards being front-end developer. My mission is to build immersive and beautiful web applications through carefully crafted code and user-centric design. I enjoy learning and improving my skills to stay up to date the with the latest trend and technology out there.

My design journey started with me starting my career as a graphic designer, from there it was where I occasionally took projects designing web layouts for potential website builds. I enjoyed the process of designing the layout of a website but was not sure on how to make design become a live functioning site. I then took a few courses to learn to code and the struggle was real, at least for me it was, lots of hours watching tutorials trying to build a website or application. There were a lot of moments of frustration trying to figure out why something wasn't working and certain points where I wanted to give up. It was in those moments where I began to think about attending a school in order to be a self-sufficient developer.

That's when I decided to join a coding bootcamp to help me excel in my coding journey that I am pursuing. I came to the decision to attend Coding Dojo of OC and it was definitely not an easy program, it was fast paced and challenging but I still finished strong feeling much more confident in tackling new challenges that I may come across. It gives me better confidence to start learning a new language since I find the concepts to be similar but the syntax is what you have to learn
