Aleena Mubashar

Good day, Nicolas! I am a beginner in the tech universe, having taken a switcheroo from Pre-Medical to CS. Full Stack Development has interested me a lot, I'm more inclined towards Frontend developing and designing. What skills should I target if I aim to become a UI/UX developer in a span of 4 years maximum?

Collapse
 
adnomina profile image
Nicolas

Hey Aleena, I'm happy to hear that you're transitioning to UI/UX, it's a really interesting field! I'd say that learning UX fundamentals (I like this website: lawsofux.com/) and how to use a tool like Figma is a must. There are tons of great online courses (even free ones) that teach you UI/UX design. A good resource for inspiration is dribbble.com/. I also enjoy YouTube videos in which people redesign the UI/UX of popular apps and websites. You could also start doing some freelance projects for a learning-by-doing approach. Hope this helps :)

Reltroner

Hi everyone! I'm Rei Reltroner, a solo full-stack developer and the founder of Reltroner Studio, where I build modular ERP systems, developer tools, and narrative worldbuilding experiences that fuse tech, infrastructure, and creativity.

My tech stack centers around Laravel 12, Keycloak SSO, MySQL, and modular architecture, with a strong belief in designing software that feels like a city scalable, secure, and beautiful to inhabit.

I’m also passionate about structured worldbuilding, think of it as SimCity meets SaaS, where I turn system architecture into a cultural identity. Currently, I'm growing my ecosystem at reltroner.com and just ranked #17 on Indie Hackers with my startup idea.

Fun fact: I see system design as both philosophy and fiction. Like how Apple sells lifestyle through iPhones I’m selling future civilization through ERP.

Looking forward to learning and sharing with you all!

Hey there!
Just joining dev.to.

I'm Nico. I learned basic C, some HTML and some CSS a few years ago but ended up getting an unrelated new career and didn't follow up on coding. Now I'm getting back on it.

I started with Codecademy free course and learned basic Javascript syntax but decided to migrate to The Odin Project instead due to the project-based focus it has.

Thanks for having me.

Hey hey everyone! I’m Missa.
After a few years off-grid (life, not dev), I came back... and haven’t really stopped building since. I’ve been unraveling something new&fast. I'm pretty sure it's an orchestration system that listens, learns, and turns intent into logic. Part architecture, part intuition, part “wait, did I just teach this thing to read between the lines?” lol
.. anyways, hello everyone!

💌 me if you:
• Like developing in random patterns and speed
• Have an interest in using recursion
• Or if you have any type of interaction in the process
