🎨 I Built My Developer Portfolio at 14 — Here’s What I Learned

Hey everyone!
I’m a 14-year-old frontend developer, and I just finished creating my personal portfolio website. You can check it out here:

👉 https://mattew-frontend.netlify.app/#projects

I built the entire site using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My goal was to create a space where I can share my projects, track my progress, and show how my skills grow over time.

🔧 What I Focused On
• A clean, modern layout
• Smooth navigation between sections
• Responsive design for mobile
• A simple, readable way to showcase my projects

🧠 What I Learned

Building a portfolio helped me understand:
• How important structure and planning are
• Why clean code matters for bigger projects
• How to design something that represents me
• How motivating it is to see your work in one place

🚀 What’s Next

I’m still improving my JavaScript and working on bigger projects like:
• A 3D mobile FPS game with AI
• Story-driven interactive content
• More frontend + backend experiments

I’ll keep adding new projects as I learn and grow.
Thanks for reading — feel free to drop feedback!
