Hello I am..

Du Tran

Over the past decade, I've delved into diverse I.T.-related subjects, spanning from systems hardware to network management. Currently, I'm immersed in self-taught front-end development. This site serves as my personal documentation of that process.

I've had a passion for design and arts for as long as I can remember. One of the most enjoyable aspects of front-end development is the ability to visualize what you're creating. I love referencing other works for inspiration and crafting something unique.

A bit more about me: I spent the first seven years of my life in Vietnam. The initial transition was challenging, but I found the rewards in overcoming the hurdles of adapting to new experiences.
