This is my personal portfolio website where I showcase my coding projects, resume, and skills in a beautifully designed format. I created this website to have an online presence and to share my work with potential employers and clients. The project helped me improve my front-end development skills and learn more about modern web development practices.

Features

  • Project Showcase: Display detailed descriptions of coding projects with links to live demos and repositories.
  • Resume Integration: Include a downloadable version of the resume in PDF format.
  • Skills Section: Highlight technical and soft skills in an organized and visually appealing way.
  • Responsive Design: Optimized for seamless viewing across devices.
  • Blog Section: Articles written using MDX, enabling dynamic content creation.

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Built using React with Next.js for server-side rendering and optimized performance.
  • Styling: Styled with Tailwind CSS for a clean and modern UI.
  • Content Management: Leveraged MDX to write interactive blogs directly in Markdown.
  • Hosting: Deployed on Vercel for fast and reliable performance.

Implementation

Frontend

  • React components used to create reusable and modular UI elements.
  • Next.js for static site generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR).
  • Lenis for smooth scrolling and navigation between sections.

Blog Management

  • Blogs written in MDX to combine Markdown content with React components.
  • Dynamic routing in Next.js for individual blog pages.
