My Portfolio

January 2023

My personal portfolio website to showcase my skills, experience and pervious projects.

---

Overview

I have always wanted my own website and as an up and coming developer I thought that it would be a good opertunity to not only progress my skills with a personal project but also to make something that I can use to present my past and future projects through.

I had previously made a prototype static portfolio using HTML. I wanted to get gain experience working with external data sources by displaying my pinned repositories using Github's API. To accomplish this, I decided to migrate my portfolio to React.

Built With

• Framework: React.js
• Styling: Bootstrap & SCSS
• API Github GraphQL

• Alert Library: Sweet Alert Library

File Tree

• src/assets - Contains image & PDF assest
• src/components - Small components used to make up the sections
