"I Built My Developer Portfolio Without Templates – and Then Three.js Liked It"

Image descriptionAfter months of building my portfolio from scratch – no templates, no UI kits, no shortcuts – something unexpected happened:

The official Three.js team liked my post. 🤯


🚀 The Project

This is not just another spinning cube.

I designed everything from the ground up – motion, shaders, camera transitions, UX, and even micro-interactions.

The goal wasn’t to impress with visuals alone, but to create a feeling — a sci-fi-inspired immersive UI that reflects my personality and thinking process as a developer.

🛠️ Tools & Stack

  • Three.js (via React Three Fiber)
  • GSAP for buttery-smooth animations
  • Custom shaders written with raw GLSL
  • No pre-built UI kit — everything styled manually
  • Next.js + Tailwind + love

🎯 Why I Did This

I didn’t build this site to look flashy.

I wanted to show what a solo developer can do when they care about experience, not just functionality.

I believe:

✨ Every transition can tell a story

✨ Every line of code can reflect who you are


👁️ Behind the Scenes (Coming Soon)

I’ll be posting more details soon — including how I structured the motion flow, camera logic, and shader transitions.

If you're building something similar or love working with motion/creative web, feel free to connect or share your thoughts.

Let’s push the web forward — one immersive pixel at a time 🚀
