I Built My First Dev Portfolio โ Feedback Welcome

After weeks of constructing projects and other portfolios with different styles, learning, and fighting with layout bugs, I finally built and launched my first developer portfolio.
๐ง Tech Stack:
React
TailwindCSS
Framer Motion
Formspree (for the contact form)
๐ Features:
Fully Responsive UI
Smooth scroll-based and interactive animations
SEO-ready structure (meta tags, proper semantics)
A working contact form
Simple, clean design โ focused on clarity, not fluff
๐ฏ Why I built this: I wanted something simple but sharp. A space to introduce myself, show my work, and grow from here. Every detail was a lesson in real-world frontend dev, from accessibility, to animation timing, to deploying with Vercel and setting up form submissions without a backend.
๐ง Challenges:
Making Framer Motion not feel over-the-top.
Preventing form spam while keeping the UX smooth.
Not vibe-coding โ I wanted every part to be intentional and clean.

๐ง I'm open to all feedback, from code structure to accessibility tips to design critiques. This is just the first version, and I'm treating it like a product that will evolve as I grow as a dev.
Thanks for checking it out!
