Hey dev fam! 👋 I'm Chetan Inaganti, a 2nd-year B.Tech Computer Science Engineering student at Sir Padampat Singhania University (SPSU). Deep into edtech, databases, and AI. Always learning—blending class theory with real builds in creative collabs.
Hunting strong 2026 internships/roles while sharing my journey on dev.to. If you're a student grinding portfolios, this is your guide—I went from empty GitHub to a futuristic neon site that screams "hire me." Let's break it down basics-first, with code, so you can build yours and level up.

Why I Built This (The Career Glow-Up Motivation)
As a 2nd-year, resumes feel flat—recruiters want proof you ship. Inspired by dev.to posts like Scrimba's minimal examples, I aimed for unique: Neon cyberpunk to stand out in India's AI scene (most are plain white). Zero backend, pure HTML/CSS for speed—loads <1s on 4G.
Step 1: Basics – Setup & Structure (Even If Easy, Start Here)
Cloned my empty repo in VS Code: git clone https://github.com/Chetan-code-lrca/Portfolio
Created files: index.html, style.css, images/ folder (tinypng.com for compression).
Core HTML with div sections (modular for easy updates)
Step 2: Neon Magic CSS (Cyberpunk Vibe)
Dark void (#0a0015), cyan glows (#00f0ff), right-to-left marquee. Hover pause for UX.
Step 3: Real Content (Photo, Certs, Projects)
Photo: Neon-bordered in hero.
Certs: 7 scrolling (ICIP, AMD Slingshot, Road Safety, ICC, RedHat Linux, etc.)—duplicated for seamless loop.
Projects: Rajasthan Helper (screenshot + GitHub) + placeholders. Update via simple edit/push.
Deploy: GitHub Pages (Settings > Pages > main/root > Save).
Unique twist: Cyberpunk over minimal—stands out, got me hackathon nods.
Roast zone: Too neon? Marquee laggy? What's weak—hit comments! Open to collabs.
Thanks for reading—star the repo if inspired. What's your portfolio story?
