Hello! my name is Aleksandr Tagunov I'm a Creative Web Developer

Something About Me

My name is Aleksandr, friends call me Alex. I’m a creative Web Developer with a passion for design and typography. I’m a chronic adventurist and a life-time learner. I started my web development journey in 2018 at MiraCosta college. Since then, I found myself obsessed with front-end web technologies, specifically with JavaScript and its robust ecosystem. While I enjoy riding the JavaScript hype-train, I stay aware of the fact that JavaScript is not the only answer. I make sure that end-user needs inform my decisions in the first place. When I design, I follow the notion that form must follow function to keep my designs clean, minimalistic, and accessible. When I’m not behind a screen, I spend my time photographing the beach, surfing at the beach, and cycling around the beach.
