🌟 Inspiration
As a developer and designer, I wanted a space that truly represents my identity, skills, and projects—something more than just a résumé. The idea was to build a Personal Portfolio that is interactive, professional, and performance-optimized. It should reflect not just my work but also the passion and creativity I bring to every project.
💻 What it does
This Personal Portfolio is a fully responsive, fast, and modern website that showcases:
- 🧑💼 About Me Section – A brief intro, bio, and what I do.
- 🛠️ Tech Stack – Lists my skills, languages, tools, and frameworks.
- 📁 Projects Showcase – Highlights selected works with descriptions, tech used, GitHub/live links.
- 📞 Contact Form – Lets visitors reach out easily via email.
- 📜 Resume Download – One-click CV download.
- 🌗 Dark/Light Mode Toggle – For better accessibility and user preference.
- 📱 Fully Responsive – Looks great on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
🔧 How we built it
This personal portfolio was built using Bolt to efficiently manage frontend/backend integration. The stack includes:
- Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS for fast and beautiful UI.
- Routing: Handled by Bolt’s internal routing engine.
- Deployment: Hosted on Vercel with CI/CD from GitHub.
- Backend (optional): Node.js + Express (for contact form handling if needed).
- Form Handling: Integrated with EmailJS or Bolt’s backend to send messages directly from the contact form.
- Extras: Framer Motion for smooth animations and transitions.
🧱 Challenges we ran into
- Design Consistency: Crafting a clean, minimal layout that also feels personalized.
- Responsive Layouts: Making sure every section adapts perfectly on all screen sizes.
- Performance Optimization: Reducing load times and improving Lighthouse scores.
- Form Integration: Setting up form handling without backend or with minimal infrastructure.
🏆 Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Built a portfolio that truly reflects who I am—clean, functional, and aesthetic.
- Learned and implemented best practices in accessibility and performance.
- Achieved fast load times and high Lighthouse scores.
- Integrated modern UI/UX elements like animations and toggles.
📚 What we learned
