      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Hey everyone! 👋
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I just finished building my personal portfolio site and wanted to share it here on Dev.to.&lt;br&gt;
Here’s what I used under the hood:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  ✅ Tech &amp;amp; tools:
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;HTML, CSS, JavaScript&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Django as the backend&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bootstrap for responsive design&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Data AOS for scroll animations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Font Awesome icons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Particle.js for background animation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  ⚙️ Features:
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shows my skills, projects, experience &amp;amp; achievements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Home and contact sections&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dark / light theme toggle 🌙☀️&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fully responsive: works on desktop &amp;amp; mobile&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  ✏️ Why I built it:
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wanted to bring all my work together in one clean, animated site — and challenge myself to combine Django backend with modern frontend tools &amp;amp; effects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🙌 Would love your feedback on:
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Overall design &amp;amp; usability&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Animation effects: too subtle / too much?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mobile view experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Any other suggestions to improve&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;

&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’ve built something similar, drop your link too — happy to see others' work and exchange feedback! 🚀&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading! 😊&lt;/p&gt;
