I Build Things That Actually Work

#webdev #typescript #buildinpublic #portfolio

The portfolio took me about 1.5 weeks to build.

Not because it was hard to code, but because I didn't want to rush it.

I kept adjusting small things like spacing, colours, animations, and how sections appear while scrolling. Most people won't notice those details. I will.And that's the point.

This wasn't about having a portfolio.
It was about building something that actually shows how I work.

Why I built it

I've worked on several real projects. Hackathons, side projects, ideas that turned into usable products. But I never had one place that told that story properly.

Most portfolios feel like a grid of cards, a long list of tools, and a generic "hire me" page.

I wanted something different.

I wanted someone scrolling through it to understand:

how I think
what I choose to build
how I finish things
why details matter to me

What I focused on

Yes, there's modern tech behind it.
Yes, there are animations.

But the hardest part wasn't writing code.

It was deciding what to show, what to remove, and what actually deserves attention.

I spent time on the structure, how to page flows, the motion so it feels smooth but not distracting, the colors so it's easy on the eyes, and timing so everything doesn't appear at once.

Every section exists for a reason.
Nothing is there just to look impressive.

What I chose to show

Instead of listing everything I've ever touched, I focused on a few real projects and showed them properly.

Each project explains:

what problem I tried to solve
what I actually built
how it works in the real world

There are demo videos instead of just screenshots, because finishing and shipping matter more than slides.

The skills section isn't a checklist.
It reflects what I'm comfortable using in practice, not just what I've tried once.

The experience section is short and bold, because impact matters more than long descriptions.

What this portfolio says about me

This portfolio isn't trying to prove that I know everything.

It's trying to show that I:

finish what I start
care about details
build things people can actually use
learn fastest by doing real work

It's honest.
And it represents where I am right now.

What I'm looking for now

I'm currently looking for my first real gig or internship .

Not just to learn basics, but to work on real products, take ownership, and real problems, and keep getting better by shipping.

I feel confident saying this because I've already spent time building under pressure, fixing broken things, and pushing projects to completion instead of leaving them halfway.
