Ok so I always felt that my portfolio was not mine, so I started working on it's redesign (a no ending work it seems), and I want to have your insights on these versions, (They still need polishing but would love to decide a direction before doing it) I wanted to ask y'all which version you like the most?

Would love your honest UX/UI take, which direction feels more impactful, memorable, and aligned with a web design/SEO brand, and why?
