Overall I like the site, looks very clean and gives great UX.

  • Remove that animation in the Hero area. If you want to display your roles, display them as static text in the same dark grey.
  • Remove the social media buttons from the sidebar. You already use them in the Hero area.
  • Avoid the skills percentages. It's not possible to measure them anyways.
  • The blue used in the Timeline should be the same as in the other sections.
  • There is a typo on the resume title.

Glad you liked it. Have been working on it for weeks. My main goal for designing my own portfolio is to show of my backend skills by making it versatile.. my idea is If I wanna add any new section instead of going through html .. I will add a new section from admin panel ( yups there is an admin panel ).. kind of similar thing CMS.

And, I appreciate suggestion you have given will implement them. Also, What should I replace skill percentages with? Stars? Or maybe score out of 10..?

The thing I suggested to avoid the percentages is you will be asked in the interviews how did you measure them and why it is 65%, not 73%, for example. Also, I've seen some devs rating some of their skills as 100%, which means they know everything in that tech, which is impossible.

Stars are not great for that either. You don't have to rate your knowledge. That's the interviewer's part.
Simply listing them is enough for the most part.

And if you still want some visuals for the skills, you can add the visual icons of the tech you know πŸ˜‰
