WordPress Origin Story

Who am I? ๐Ÿš€
My name is Remzi Cavdar and I study HBO-ICT software engineering at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. I have experience developing different types of websites, webshops and web applications. I also have experience with Java, JavaFX and Spring Boot.

Background ๐Ÿค“
My interest in computers started in high school, where I made websites in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. At that time, JavaScript was not very useful and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer dominated the market with almost 90% market share. Adobe Flash was needed for dynamic interaction.

At MBO I learned to develop web applications with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery and PHP. jQuery was popular at the time because different browsers supported different JavaScript APIs. I used it actively for a while.

As a gamer, I built my first gaming PC in 2012 and later set up Linux servers to test and learn. Since then I have been helping acquaintances, friends and family with their computer problems.

Knowledge and work experience ๐Ÿ’ผ
I have worked for various WordPress and web agencies and have gained experience in developing various types of websites, webshops and web applications. I often also did system management and had frequent contact with other hosting companies and customers. Coordinating and managing customer hosting was also part of hosting.

Last school year I programmed an application in Java for a practical assignment in which we used JavaFX. That project demonstrates my ability to develop complex applications. I would like to tell you more about this project to illustrate my technical skills.

My technical knowledge spans multiple programming languages, frameworks and databases, including:
– Java, JavaFX and Spring Boot
– HTML/CSS and JavaScript
– React, Vue.js, Vite and Redis
– Node.js and Composer
– PHP and WordPress
– C# and .NET
– MySQL, MariaDB and MongoDB
– Bash and Powershell
– JSON, RESTful APIs, XML, JSON, TOML, YAML
– Apache and Nginx
– Docker

Hobbies ๐Ÿ“Œ
In my spare time I often code and try out new programming languages, everything I code I put on my GitHub profile. I also sometimes contribute to open source projects. I am also interested in technology and science and like to follow the news about new technologies and developments.

Ambition ๐Ÿ”ฅ
My ambition extends to further development within Java, as the versatility and industrial demand are high. Quickly mastering new technologies is one of my strengths.

Contact ๐Ÿ“ฉ
I โ€‹โ€‹am looking for a part-time job alongside my HBO-ICT Software Engineering education.

If you are looking for an inquisitive intern who is willing to work hard, I am open to a conversation to explore the possibilities.
