I made this portfolio when I was still learning web development, so this project is pretty different from what I build now. I wanted to make a simple personal site that could introduce me and show the projects I had actually built, without using a big framework or a ready-made portfolio template. I built it with HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript and kept the design intentionally simple. One of the fun parts was adding the animated car scene at the bottom of the page, which gave the otherwise simple portfolio something memorable. As I learned more, I also added responsive behavior, mobile navigation, SEO and social meta tags, reduced-motion support and lazy loading for the animation. Looking back at it now, I can see how much I’ve learned since building it, but I still like that this project represents an early point in my journey where I was focused on learning by actually building and shipping something.
