PROXI - An aspiring software engineer taking self taught knowledge and applying it to create professional solutions
Hi, I'm Callum. A 20 year old IT engineer looking for the next step towards my dream career of being a software developer. My interest in computing started from a young age and has developed ever since. I started coding plugins on for Minecraft servers. Teaching myself along the way, I have put that knowledge into backend development. I am currently learning React and CSS utilities such as Tailwind for frontend. I have already put this learning into practice by making multiple professional websites and add-ons for companies and individuals.
About "Proxi"
Hi, I'm Callum. A 20 year old IT engineer looking for the next step towards my dream career of being a software developer. I've always been obsessed with computers. From the first time I was able to play on a PlayStation 1 my grandad was given by my cousin. I was drawn to all of the details, how what I was viewing was being rendered onto the screen. About 7 years later, I was able to answer that question, I started trying to code Minecraft plugins using Java. At the time, I still didn't know exactly what I was doing or how to do everything. But I stuck to it over years and developed for servers over the next few years, building games and core plugins. But I didn't want to just use coding for Minecraft. In 2019 I was able to save enough money to build my own computer. It wasn't much, but it was able to handle some light gaming. I tried my hand in game making, but never had the motivation after learning the basics of Unity. So I went back to Java and decided to try out backend development. This is when I discovered my interest in making backend applications. I enjoyed working with databases, thinking of solutions to my problems and how to store and handle data efficiently. I started learning how to use Springboot which helped me to create websites for people. I had to learn how to make the frontend for websites which is still something I am still perfecting. I am always learning of new technologies and am planning to learn React and CSS utilities like Tailwind to help me progress my knowledge of frontend. I also want to learn more than just the few languages I know soon.
