Hey Dev Community 👋

I’m excited to share that I’ve officially built and deployed my personal portfolio website! 🎉

As an MCA student passionate about full-stack development, I wanted a place where I could showcase my projects, skills, and journey in tech — and this portfolio became that space.

💻 Tech Stack I Used

⚛️ React.js

🎨 CSS / Styled Components

📧 EmailJS (for contact form integration)

🌐 GitHub Pages (for deployment)

✨ Features

🌙 Dark Mode Support

📱 Fully Responsive Design

📂 Projects Showcase Section

📜 Resume Download Option

📬 Working Contact Form

🔗 Social Media Links

🛠 Challenges I Faced

Deploying correctly on GitHub Pages

Handling base paths for routing

Fixing build issues before deployment

Making the design clean and professional

Each issue taught me something new about React builds, hosting, and project structure.

📚 What I Learned

How to structure a scalable React project

Proper deployment workflow (build → deploy → test)

Importance of responsive design

Clean UI/UX practices

Handling real-world bugs

🎯 Why I Built It

I believe every developer should have a portfolio.
It’s not just about showing projects — it’s about showing growth.

This portfolio represents:

My learning journey

My consistency

My dedication to becoming a better developer every day

I’m Mitesh, an MCA student from Maharashtra, India, passionate about Full stack development, mobile applications, and exploring new technologies. I recently joined DEV to document my journey-sharing lessons, projects, and ideas as I grow as a developer.

🌱 What I’m Working On
• React + Spring Boot projects - building practical apps like a food-waste management platform and a workspace booking platform.
• Android apps in Java - experimenting with daily task schedulers and other productivity tools.

🎯 Current Focus: Placement Prep & DSA
With campus placements around the corner, my main priority is mastering Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA)-the key to cracking most technical interviews.

🤝 Let’s Connect
I’d love to hear from fellow developers and learners:
• What’s the best advice you received when starting your career?
• Any must-solve DSA problems or hidden-gem resources or suggestions you recommend?
Just looking forward to learning and building together. 🚀
