How to Build an awesome developer portfolio website.

As a software developer, it's important to have a robust portfolio website that can display our abilities and experiences. To assist other developers, I have designed a portfolio website using Next, Tailwind CSS, and EmailJS. In this article, I will provide a step-by-step guide on the setup process, along with the GitHub link.

STEP 01:

Clone the Repository using GitHub link and change the directory to the developer-portfolio.

git clone https://github.com/Sadekul-me/developer-portfolio
cd developer-portfolio

STEP 02:

Now install all packages using npm or yarn.

npm install
# or
yarn

After installation, all packages, Now change all data on utils/data/* according to you. For example:

  name: "Sadekul Islam",
  profile: '/profile.png',
  designation: "Software Engineering",
  description: "I am Sadekul Islam...
                👨‍💻 My Belief: Technology is not just code; it’s an infinite world of creativity. 🚀",
  email: '[e-mail]',
  phone: '[phone]',
  address: "Sonaroy, Domar, Nilphamari - 5340",
  github: 'https://github.com/Sadekul-me',
  facebook: 'https://www.facebook.com/ProgramerSadekulIslam',
  linkedIn: 'https://www.linkedin.com/',
  twitter: 'https://x.com/SadekulIslam_me',
  stackOverflow: 'https://stackoverflow.com/',
  leetcode: "https://leetcode.com/u/sadekul_me/",
  devUsername: "Sadekul_me",
  resume: "https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KSL6LM6koIp1fMnRIa7pPscfVrdkWiD3"
}

The devusername properties replace it with your dev.to username and it will fetch all blogs from your dev.to website.

STEP 03:

Now we will make a .env file and set up our Email.JS credential in a .env file. I am using EmailJs in this project for the user to send mail to me and It's free. The .env file will be the following:

NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAILJS_SERVICE_ID =
NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAILJS_TEMPLATE_ID =
NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAILJS_PUBLIC_KEY =

First of all, go to Emailjs.com and sign up for an account.

Make a email service using Gmail and take the Service ID and add it .env file as REACT_APP_YOUR_SERVICE_ID value.

Then make a Email template and take Template ID from the template setting and use it .env.

Then go to Account and take Public Key and use it in .env.

STEP 04:

Now the portfolio website is ready for the run. You can run it using npm or yarn.

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

If you like the portfolio project Please give it a star on the GitHub Repository.
