I recently challenged myself to build a portfolio that captures the essence of photography: the manipulation of light.

Using React, I engineered this dynamic spotlight effect. The goal was to create an immersive experience where the user creates their own focus points as they explore the page.

The Tech Stack & Process:

Core: React for component-based architecture.

Visuals: Custom CSS masking and smooth animation libraries for that "buttery" scroll feel.

It’s one thing to generate a concept; it’s another to write the logic that makes it performant and responsive in the browser.

I’m currently open to new projects! If you’re a creative looking for a high-performance website that creates a mood rather than just displaying images, let’s talk.
