• Responsive Design: Fully optimized for all screen sizes.
• Backend Integration: The backend is built to handle form submissions and dynamic content.
• Project Showcase: Highlights key projects I've worked on with detailed descriptions.
• Contact Form: Backend-enabled contact form for direct communication.
• Tech Stack: MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) for seamless frontend-backend integration.

Set up the .env file in the /server directory to include your MongoDB connection string:
