Personal Portfolio.

An evolving home for the things I build and the moments I collect. This site started with a star field; its next chapter begins on paper.

THE OVERVIEW

What’s the idea?

My personal portfolio, built with React, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, showcases my skills, projects, experience, and photography in an interactive space.

01 / THE QUESTION

The problem.

A portfolio should communicate both the engineering work and the person behind it, with a clear path to the details.

02 / THE RESPONSE

The approach.

This edition introduces dedicated project pages, an editorial career timeline, a concise professional introduction, and a photo journal.

INSIDE THE BUILD

Details that matter.

01

A place for each story

Separate routes for work, experience, and personal interests.

02

Clear paths into the work

Dedicated pages connect professional experience, project details, education, and personal photography.

03

Frame by frame

Personal photographs appear as Polaroid prints with handwritten captions, thumbnails, and an accessible full-size viewer.

04

Thoughtful foundations

Responsive layouts, keyboard navigation, reduced-motion support, and locally hosted fonts.
