Hi there!
My name is Neven Đuranec, freelance frontend developer (janitor) from Zagreb, Croatia.
I have over 20 years of experience in the field and I'm well T shaped. I love doing accessibility & performance improvements and site audits.
I'm a perfectionist & I never give up, learning on a daily basis, proactive, father, husband and everything in between.
Check out my experience and what can I do for you. Follow me on twitter.
Fortis est, qui se vincit!
My experience
2004 - MS Frontpage, table layouts & spacer.gifs!
I took a web design course at POU in 2004. That has introduced me to a world of web and design.
After the course I was given an opportunity to teach other people. That has proven to be a great decision because it forced me to learn a lot of things I didn't know before.
I was a teacher there for a couple of semesters.
2008 - 2018 - First job as a developer
I started my first job as a junior developer at Human (formerly known as web.burza) in Zagreb, Croatia.
I'we worked on projects from small to large scale and worked with a variety of technologies like PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, WordPress, Symfony, Twig, Vagrant, CSS (OOCSS, BEM, SUIT CSS, Atomic), Webpack etc.
I also tried the first versions of Angular and React as a side project.
While working there we have won MIXX awards 4 years in a row.
