Yo! Nice web. I do have some feedback:

  1. Cool animations and stuff. I like the gallery.
  2. Switch to a hosting site other than render. it took around 30s for render to wake up. That's pretty long. Vercel is what I use.
  3. If you have CSS, use x-overflow: hidden on the body. Right now there is a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom. That should hide that and deal with any overflow.
  4. Gallery is spelled "galery." Also, do you have projects to go on it yet?

Good work!

really decent for a recent graduate portfolio - however I second what the other commenter said about that onrender host being absolute dogshit (although i'm partial to cloudflare pages > vercel myself)

Haha, yeah I’ve been feeling the Render pain myself 😅.
Thanks for the tip — I’ll check out Cloudflare Pages too, sounds like it could be a solid upgrade.
Appreciate you taking the time to look through my portfolio!

Ive deployed the front-end of many production applications on pages. its no joke. free too. its really simple and super fast for iterating quickly, very comparable to vercel. if you ever need a quick back end, cloudflare workers are a great option as well. you can monorepo your project, have a front end thats deployed on cloudflare pages (just have to adjust the target from the root directory to your front end project directory) and then deploy your backend with "npx wrangler deploy" and then you have free front and backend webhosting all in cloudflare! highly recommend that workflow for sideprojects if youre tinkering a lot as a new graduate this is a lifehack i'm happy to pass along!

Hey, thanks a lot for checking out my portfolio and for the feedback!
Yeah, I noticed the Render cold start delay too — I’ll definitely look into moving it to Vercel.
And good catch on the horizontal scroll, I’ll fix that with overflow-x: hidden.
Glad you liked the animations and gallery!

Looks great! If you don't mind me giving a bit of feedback:

  • A different font would be great. Times New Roman feels out of place here
  • I would personally recommend presenting your face/about me first and not a 3JS scene. IMO, most experienced developers will see that and think it's not super impressive.

Anyways, it looks super awesome!

The portfolio look pretty good but,

  1. Improve its performance, its a bit buggy where animations are loading.
  2. Use Vercel for hosting.
  3. The Gallery you added, its buttons have no point? remove them.
  4. The UI can be improved, make the fonts a little big.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I’ll work on improving performance, smoothing animations, and moving to Vercel.
About the gallery — the buttons are actually for horizontal spin/scroll, but I see how it might not be clear. I’ll look into making that more intuitive.
And I’ll also tweak the UI/fonts for better readability. Appreciate your input!
