It looks a little... geocities. Not meaning to be too negative, but I'm not a fan of the abundance of animations and emoji. I don't know what half those icons mean in the "skill set" section and don't understand why you have any in the "I'm a student!" section at all, they don't add anything.

The "currently learning" animated text field thing doesn't have an alt attribute so it's unusable by screen readers. The emoji in your bullet list will be read out as "seedling" and "dancers" and so on, which doesn't make any sense when combined with the following text.

I'm mostly concerned with accessibility issues but I also wonder who the audience is for this page. If you're trying to impress a future employer then I think it's going to need some tidying-up. If you're just trying to have some fun, though, then it's fine :)

In a different TIL completely, I didn't realise you could have followers on GitHub!

CanΒ΄t say much more. After some time in internet you learn that less is more. I just recently learned about KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) and I personally thinks its applies to profiles and cvs. When you want to show everything at the same time nothing will stand out.

Ya I guess you are right there is a lot of stuff in there and a profile shouldn't be that complex simple does a better job at it, and thanks for letting me know about KISS😘.

I have to agree with you that there are a lot of gifs and the skillset has a lot of unwanted icons. I will work towards improving my profile using all your suggestions.

Thanks for visiting and giving feedback 😊
