# About me
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
Hello! Ahoj! Welcome to my site!
|
|
|
|
My name is **Devin Haska** and this is my little slice of the internet I call home.
|
|
|
|
Here's a non-exhaustive list of topics you'll find here: web development, music, reading, video games, politics, and intersections of all of the above.
|
|
|
|
I really like frogs, like a lot. So I made myself a mascot. They don't have a name yet, but perhaps you can think of one?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Professional
|
|
|
|
I'm currently looking for my next role. My previous workplace was [Metalab][metalab] as a **Web Engineer** for almost 5 years.
|
|
|
|
I have a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Computer Science from the [University of Victoria][uvic].
|
|
|
|
Technologies I have focused on in the last few years include:
|
|
|
|
- React
|
|
- React Native
|
|
- TypeScript
|
|
- Next.js
|
|
|
|
I have a passion for the intersection of development and design. There are a few titles[^1] I've seen tossed around that I feel represent myself:
|
|
|
|
- Creative Developer
|
|
- Design Technologist
|
|
- Design Engineer
|
|
- Web Designer
|
|
|
|
As a _creative web design engineer technologist_, I enjoy being in the middle of design and development, and bridge the gap between the two disciplines. I have enough design knowledge to know how an experience should look and feel, and the engineering skills to execute that vision.
|
|
|
|
I'm happiest when I'm at the front of the front-end, getting into nitty-gritty details with an emphasis on motion. CSS is my home base (and yes, it's a programming language).
|
|
|
|
I try my best to champion accessibility wherever I can. I incorporate accessibility testing tools into my workflow while carrying out my day-to-day work.
|
|
|
|
## Hobbies
|
|
|
|
I tend to hop from interest to interest, fully engrossing myself and then moving on after a few weeks. That said, I do have some mainstays that I have a regular interest in, such as:
|
|
|
|
- Playing video games
|
|
- Discovering new music
|
|
- Tinkering with small electronics
|
|
- Using web dev to make things (hey, you're looking at one such thing!)
|
|
- Journaling
|
|
- Painstakingly researching the piece of gear I'm thinking about getting
|
|
- Reading
|
|
- Home DIY (building furniture, home repair and upgrades, that sort of thing)
|
|
- Networking (as in the Internet kind) (I use a lot of UniFi products)
|
|
- Making pixel art
