Building My Personal Website & Brand Platform
I built my personal website as both a learning project and a professional branding tool. This project helped me explore modern frontend technologies like Framer Motion while giving me a platform to present my career, technical projects, and achievements in a sleek, animated interface.
Project Overview
In early 2025, I set out to create a personal website that not only reflected my skills but also gave me space to experiment with cutting-edge frontend tools. My aim was twofold:
- Learn and apply Framer Motion to add smooth transitions and animations.
- Establish a strong personal brand presence online with a professional, responsive portfolio.
I wanted the site to feel light, modern, and highly interactive, so I used React as the foundation, Tailwind CSS for styling, and deployed it via Vercel for lightning-fast performance.
Features
- Dynamic animated transitions with Framer Motion
- Fully responsive layout using Tailwind CSS
- Project and experience sections dynamically generated from structured data
- Custom hover effects and microinteractions
- SEO-optimized structure and clean codebase for future scaling
Why It Matters
This project pushed me to refine my frontend development workflow and gave me an opportunity to align my digital presence with the quality of work I deliver in my professional roles. It also serves as a live sandbox to iterate, test, and grow as I evolve in my career.
