After weeks of constructing projects and other portfolios with different styles, learning, and fighting with layout bugs, I finally built and launched my first developer portfolio.
🔧 Tech Stack:
React
TailwindCSS
Framer Motion
Formspree (for the contact form)
🔍 Features:
Fully Responsive UI
Smooth scroll-based and interactive animations
SEO-ready structure (meta tags, proper semantics)
A working contact form
Simple, clean design — focused on clarity, not fluff
🎯 Why I built this:
I wanted something simple but sharp. A space to introduce myself, show my work, and grow from here. Every detail was a lesson in real-world frontend dev, from accessibility, to animation timing, to deploying with Vercel and setting up form submissions without a backend.
🚧 Challenges:
Making Framer Motion not feel over-the-top.
Preventing form spam while keeping the UX smooth.
Not vibe-coding — I wanted every part to be intentional and clean.

🧠 I'm open to all feedback, from code structure to accessibility tips to design critiques. This is just the first version, and I'm treating it like a product that will evolve as I grow as a dev.
Thanks for checking it out!
