// about
Hi, I'm Aigar Orav.
I'm a Full Stack web developer from KOOD/Jõhvi, a peer-to-peer coding school in Estonia with no lectures and no hand-holding — you learn by building and by reading other people's code. That's shaped how I work: I'm comfortable being thrown at an unfamiliar problem and figuring it out.
I gravitate toward things real people touch. I've built a browser game and a dating app — products where the feel matters as much as the function. This site is the third: hand-written, no UI library, so every pixel is a decision I made.
Languages I work in
- TypeScript strongest — what this site is built in
- Java OOP foundations, backend exercises
- Python scripting, the occasional tool
- PHP currently learning
What I actually care about
- Consumer products with personality — not another grey dashboard.
- Code I'd be happy to open a year from now: clear over clever.
- The browser as a platform — performance, accessibility, the small details.
- Shipping. A live thing beats a perfect plan.
