Personal portfolio website: design and development
I designed and built my portfolio from scratch to show who I am and what I build, all in one scroll.
What’s in it
An animated network background that moves gently behind the page
A working terminal visitors can type into (try projects or joke)
Project cards that tell each story in four lines: goal, built, hurdle, fix
A responsive layout that looks just as good on a phone as on a laptop
Built with: HTML, CSS and JavaScript, no framework, so it loads fast. Deployed on Vercel.

Nobody likes a loading screen. So I gave it a piano. 🎹
Play while your data graph loads. Press and hold a key and its bar grows. When the loader hits 100%, the piano steps aside and your results rise in its place.
The part I still can’t quite believe: I built this without opening a design canvas or writing a single line of code.
I described the idea, shared a reference image, and refined it one conversation at a time with AI.
What’s the most boring moment in a product you’d love to turn into something fun?
Insurance claim status screens would be my pick, though people wait there anxious rather than bored. In that case showing what's happening step by step beats entertainment, so I'd save the piano for short, low-stakes waits.
