If you are looking for a talented and motivated junior web developer, you need to meet Brock Lubbers! Brock has a passion for programming and coding and has already developed some impressive web content and apps. I’m excited to share more about this promising junior web developer this week!
Meet Brock, Junior Web Developer
Meet, Brock. He is a Junior Web Developer in Wichita, KS! He is self-motivated, driven, and loves improving himself and his skill set. When I first started working with Brock in August 2019, he was unsure of his direction and was anxious about choosing the wrong career path. However, as we began to uncover his passion for programming and coding, he jumped in and began learning all he could and has never looked back!
Brock possesses the unique ability for someone his age to take an idea and build an entire website (front and back-end). Not only is he dedicated and able to work autonomously, but he can also build a website from scratch to deployment, and continues to update and improve the software and content.
Web Development and Programming Projects
I encourage you to take a moment and check out Brock’s website at www.developerbrock.com to see his work in action! He also has an outstanding Projects page where he highlights some of the apps he has developed!
One of Brock’s favorite projects is a repertoire management web app! Another passion of Brock’s is music. He has developed the app to track and organize his repertoire and the songs he wants to learn as a musician. In addition, the app has a tempo tracker, chat page, and more! See it in action below!
As an independent junior web developer, Brock has also designed his own website, which features a pomodoro timer app, a drum beat maker, and a data structure repository in C++. He says he has multiple other projects in the works.
Programming Languages
Brock’s favorite programming language is Python. He likes its simple syntax and how quickly he can get started with a project using its wide array of libraries. Brock enjoys the Python library Flask, as it is great for streamlining his web-development projects. He likes that it generally requires less code than other languages and, as a result, allows for faster development.
Brock’s Ideal Work as a Junior Web Developer or Intern
When thinking about ideal opportunities, Brock described a position in software development with an emphasis on web development. He finds web development fun and relevant because everyone uses the web. It is a really important element for every company, every consumer, and everyday life. He finds it satisfying to watch his webpages progress from a blank slate to polished user interfaces by using front-end languages to implement his vision.
Finding the Right Career Path
When I met Brock, he was struggling to determine the best career path for him. He was unsure what would bring him fulfillment long-term and desperately wanted confidence and clarity before investing loads of time and money into education and training. If you can relate to Brock’s former situation, I understand. And, just like I helped Brock, I can help you as well!
