Why We Need a Simple Portfolio with the Best UX

My portfolio website home page screenshot added hereHey folks πŸ‘‹

As developers, we know how fast hiring managers scroll through portfolios these days. Most of them spend less than a minute before deciding whether to explore more β€” so I wanted my new portfolio to deliver the real story instantly.

🎯 The Goal:
Create a portfolio that’s clean, fast, and easy to digest β€” no fancy effects, no clutter. Just a straightforward space where anyone can quickly understand who I am, what I do, and how I can help.

🧠 The Thought Behind It:

Built with a retro-pixel aesthetic that reflects simplicity and a touch of nostalgia.

Every section (Experience, Projects, Education, Skills) is just one click away β€” no endless scrolling.

Focused on readability, minimalism, and quick interaction.

Optimized for hiring managers who prefer clarity over chaos.

πŸ’» Stack:
Next.js, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, ShadCn, Retro

πŸ—‚οΈ Key Sections:

Experience: My professional journey so far

Projects: Selected works that show my approach to building things

Education: Where my learning roots are planted

Skills: My tech toolbox

🌍 Why this approach?
I believe great portfolios don’t always need to scream β€” sometimes, a calm and intentional design can speak louder. My goal was to create something that feels professional, purposeful, and personal.
