My Journey

Hello! I'm John Kasonde, a self-taught web developer and creative professional based in Lusaka, Zambia. My journey into the world of technology began unexpectedly while I was working as a photographer.

Frustrated with the limitations of existing portfolio templates, I decided to learn how to build my own website. What started as a simple HTML/CSS tutorial quickly turned into a passion for coding and problem-solving.

Skills & Expertise

Over the years, I've developed a diverse skill set that allows me to tackle projects from multiple angles:

Web Development

Frontend Development Responsive Design JavaScript Frameworks PHP & MySQL API Integration

Design & Photography

UI/UX Design Photo Editing Digital Art Brand Identity

Philosophy & Approach

I believe in creating solutions that are not only functional but also beautiful and intuitive. My background in photography gives me a unique perspective on design and user experience.

I'm a strong advocate for continuous learning and regularly dedicate time to exploring new technologies and techniques. Currently, I'm diving deeper into AI integration with web applications and advanced CSS animations.
