Liftoff Studios on October 08, 2022

Hello Everyone

I have finally completed my portfolio. I tried to keep the design neat and clean

Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated:

I agree with all of the feedback in Fabio's comment. In addition to what they already suggested about reorganizing your list of technologies into categories, you might also consider changing the wording of "I specialise in". That phrase is followed by a list of over 20 things. I'd be skeptical if I read that someone "specialises" in 20 things. You can be knowledgeable in 20 things but there is probably a much shorter list of what you actually specialize in, the things you most often find yourself working on and know better than the others.

Okay, Thank you. I will change all of this :)

Hey, So it is really good that you created a portfolio! The first impression is well. But there are few things you can improve.

home - The pointer is set to click on the code snippet, but no click event is there to register
Home - "feel free to explore" is good but not really useful rather offer a link to your project page
project page - the project box looks kinda awkward also in dark mode it not good readable. also the link is not going anywhere
about - the text box in the top, lose the arrow and rather rotate through it automatically, also lose the scrollbar in the text box.
the specialise list is kinda unordered and reference code editors, does that mean you develope plugins for these (atom is btw not supported). Perhaps better so have multiple sections for this. Like language, frameworks/libs and tools
I would loose the cred's section.
The navigation looks neat, make sure to highlight the icon of the current page.

Thank you, I will work on these

That looks nice, and @snakepy has already mentioned things in detail. I would also add to work a bit on color scheme, make the left pane (navbar) a bit more accessible by adding tooltips on hover & aria labels.

Btw, anyone interested in reviewing mine? 😶

The project you present there are pretty pretty awsome. I would try to set them more in scene. But apart from that it looks fine I guess. You went for a simple style and your project speak for you. I am a bit ashamed about the projects I put onto my portfolio, they are not really polished.

Thanks man for taking the time to explore the projects. I'm glad that you liked them.

You seem to have studied variety of fields like Materials Polymer Science, Chemical Engineering etc. That's cool. (Because over long run I'm bearish about software engineering. 😥😅)

A fun fact: I will be in your country very soon (for work). See ya someday in person. :)

@subhamx Yeah I did :D I am actually more of a science guy and noticed my love for programming a bit late. But after my master's I went fully into coding.

Good time in germany :D I am currently not there. I miss it though.
