### 👋🏼 Hello ~~world~~ friend !

<!-- If you are new to the DEV community, introduce yourself and share a bit about why you joined DEV and decided to participate in Hacktoberfest this year.  --> 

My name is [Thomas](https://thomasbnt.dev/en/about), I'm 22 years old at the moment, I like to participate to Open Source projects and help people with my web dev skills. 

### 👀 Background

In **2015**, I signed up on GitHub and I really **didn't think that I would contribute one day**. I was using the platform as a cloud for my private projects. Now I use it for a lot more things, like obviously versioning but also to keep everything in order, and then there are GitHub Actions that can be useful, so it's always cool to have that ! 😄💚

**Now I'm participating in some projects** when I can. I'm always willing to help out, even if it's a small thing, it makes me happy 🎉

I can help on different aspects of a project, **front-end**, **French translation**  or **accessibility** (I have to improve in it).

At the moment, I'm **working on VueJS and NuxtJs**. I also [released my website a few months ago](https://thomasbnt.dev). ☕🎉🎉

Where am I now? I've **already surpassed the 4 Pull Request (PR) goal**, **but my goal is to do more** and continue in the following weeks. 😄💪🏼

These are the contributions made at the moment, but this is probably not the final list.

I also have a [PR on nuxtjs.org that adds a French documentation](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxtjs.org/pull/1819), but it doesn't count for the Hacktoberfest if it can interest people 


### 🔥 Reflections

<!-- Overall, how has your Hacktoberfest 2021 experience been? If you’re a first-timer, will you participate again? What have you learned? Have you made any interesting connections? What is your next step in open source?  -->

This is not the first time I have participated in this event. It's already the fourth year, and I'm always happy to have helped some repositories. I will participate again next year
