About me

Hi, nice to e-meet you 👋
I'm Henry Zarza a system engineer from Colombia. I defined myself as dedicated and passionate about what I like, self-taught, adventurous, nerdy, and creative. I love to push my limits every day and face new challenges.

What am I doing?

Improving my English and Italian (I love languages).
Learning new APIs, frameworks, libraries, and best practices.
I love creative code, UI/UX, I'm a design enthusiast, so I tend to play around in myCodepenwith some stuff.

Let's keep in touch:

What do I know?

JavaScript using some Web APIs, Service worker, web workers, and TypeScript.
ReactJS using some libraries, GraphQL, Redux, Hooks, NextJS, and Context API. I'm learning React Native.
VueJS using some libraries, Nuxt, GraphQL, and Pinia.
CSS using SCSS, Less, and Stylus preprocessors. Libraries and frameworks (Bootstrap, Materialize, Foundation, Material Design, Tachyons, Tailwind, and Chakra UI). CSS modules and styled components.
HTML using several APIs, and preprocessors (Pug, Slim, and Handlebars).
NodeJS using Express framework. I'm learning Nest.
Database management system (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle 10g - 11g using PL/SQL, SQL Server using Transact SQL), and MongoDB.
Testing: React Testing Library, Mocha, Jest, Vitest, Playwright, and Test Cafe.
Angular using some libraries, NGRX, and RxJS.

Advent of CSS

It was a challenge powered by Compressed.fm in December of 2022. For 24 days I received an email with 24 CSS challenge, this repository is my solution for the challenges.

Day 1 - Pomodoro Timer

A customizable pomodoro timer using SVG, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript.

Day 2 - eCommerce Component

An eCommerce component where the user can view the plates on the left side of the screen and add them to the cart on the right side.

Day 3 - Piano

Creation of a keyboard only with CSS. I love this project because at first glance it seems easy, but there are some more complicated steps involved.

Day 4 - Computer Keyboard

A computer keyboard using only CSS. A random letter will start to jiggle. The user should type the same key that's jiggling and it'll stop.

Day 5 - Compressed.fm list

A list of Compressed-fm Episodes that can be checked off.

Day 6 - Range Slider

I built an interactive range slider using only CSS and vanilla JS.

#30DaysOfCode

In 2020, I decided to do this challenge to practice, improve, and learn new things about HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Web APIs. I had to think "out of the box" and be creative, but I really enjoyed it.

1. Face reconigtion shopping

2. 3D Parallax card

3. Expanding flex cards

4. Clock neumorphism

5. Web components

6. Snow effect

Cookbook

I wanna share with you random things like articles, talks, resources, codbits, experiences, thoughts, etc. I can't think about a name for this section so I just named it "Cookbook" 🤓

Inspiration

Sometimes is difficult to find the inspiration or good tools, photos, etc, for using, when we wanna do something, so I wanna share with you some links that for me are very useful.
