About

I’m aeoncat — a software engineering student building real projects and documenting what I learn. I like simple systems, clean UI, and shipping work that actually runs.

Quick snapshot

  • Based in Oklahoma
  • Studying Software Engineering at WGU
  • Building web apps with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Next.js
  • Learning backend fundamentals (APIs, databases, auth)
  • Writing as I learn so future-me doesn’t forget

What I’m doing right now

I’m focused on getting consistent reps: shipping small features, improving my fundamentals, and making a portfolio that shows real progress instead of “perfect someday” plans.

  • Building and polishing projects that solve real problems
  • Practicing clean layouts, responsive design, and accessibility
  • Improving my backend skills with PostgreSQL + API routes
  • Posting short write-ups about what worked and what didn’t

What I care about

  • Clarity: simple beats clever.
  • Momentum: shipping beats planning.
  • Craft: details matter when they serve the user.
  • Truth: I write the messy parts too.

Skills & tools

I’m still learning, but here’s what I’m actively using and improving.

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive layouts
  • Frameworks: Next.js (learning deeper patterns)
  • Backend: Express, REST APIs, PostgreSQL
  • Auth: NextAuth (and the concepts behind it)
  • Dev tools: Git, GitLab, VS Code

If you’ve got a project, a question, or you’re also learning in public, I’m down to talk.
