Hello World! Hiiii!

Hello World! Hiiii! My name is Yenia Vasquez. I am 19 years old, and I am the creator of this website. I am currently a student of FSU studying computer science. Among the things I like are videogames, art, programming and reading. The reason why I decided to study computer science is because I love videogames and I wish in the future to develop my own games with art done myself.

I also consider myself an artist, I have liked painting and drawing ever since I was little. Things haven’t been that easy to get where I am now, which may not seem much but to me it is. Studying what I like is an accomplishment for me. I have encountered economic problems during my journey, but my parents have done their best to overcome them. My ambitions make me work harder, and as a result my dreams can be accomplished.

Why the sidewalk infrastructure is important?

Addressing the inadequate sidewalk infrastructure is important to me because I encounter the problem every day. My friends and I usually walk around the city instead of taking a taxi or Uber; both are ridiculously costly, and the traffic is unbearable. Sidewalks are just terrible. I have fallen and twisted my ankle before, and two of my friends have almost been run over because there was no sidewalk to walk on. This is why I believe sidewalk infrastructure in Panama need to be improved.

The Journey

Creating this website hasn’t been an easy path. I've created websites in the past, but nothing very elaborated. The most difficult thing about this website is the responsiveness between devices. Getting things to appear in the proper location for the size of the device requires some work. Choosing the color palette wasn’t that hard, I just asked my artist friends opinion on some presets I found. And the layout I just wanted to do something simple, something between minimalistic and brutalism, I was a bit inspired by Gumroad website. Overall, I really enjoy website design and it has been a fun journey so far.
