About The Project

I felt my previous basic HTML and CSS portfolio inherently fell short in some aspects. This is a redress for that.

What I was aiming for:

• Completeness. Unlike the previous one, I wanted this portfolio version to look and feel more like the final version from the very start.

• Simplicity. I wanted everything important in here, on the same page, accessible on a single page load. I also wanted to tree shake my own css and move from proprietary modules like bulma

• Minimalism. As is my design philosophy

  Less is more .

Of course, it's impossible to hit perfection on the first try, so I'll be making iterations in the near future. Feel free to suggest changes by forking this repo and creating a pull request or opening an issue.
