Personal Portfolio

This site is my playground for shipping polished UI quickly. I wanted one place that could flex between showcasing work, dropping notes, and experimenting with motion + theming.

Leaned on a card grid to keep content scannable, piped in GitHub data for recent commits, and built a theme/accent system that persists to localStorage. MapLibre drives the location card, while custom panels cover experience, education, and contact flows.

Key Features

  • Built GitHub-backed repo and commit cards with graceful fallbacks so the page stays fast without API calls.:
  • Theme + accent palette persists locally and syncs across cards for a cohesive feel.:
  • Status bar, map card, and bouncing photo stack keep the page playful without sacrificing clarity.:

Learnings

  • Strong defaults matter; writing fallbacks first made the API integrations safer.
  • Little animations (view transitions, bounce cards) go a long way in making static content feel alive.
  • Documenting layout tokens early meant later sections stayed consistent without rewrites.
