A personal portfolio website that reflects my personality and design style through interactive visualizations, thoughtful animations, and a cohesive design system. Built with Astro to showcase my work while learning modern web development and deployment.
Sharing my personality through design
I wanted to create a portfolio that reflects who I am: combining clean minimalism with playful, data science inspired elements that showcase both my technical skills and personality.
Balancing professionalism and playfulness
Every design decision was intentional. From the animated neural network on the About page to the interactive network graph on the Home page, I infused data science elements while maintaining a polished, professional aesthetic.
Interactive Visualizations
Custom animated network graphs and neural network visualizations using SVG and JavaScript
Cohesive Design System
Developed a custom design system with typography, color palette, and component architecture
Learning & Deployment
Dove deep into modern web development with Astro and TypeScript, learning the full deployment pipeline from development to production
What I learned
Beyond technical skills, I learned how to translate my personality into code. The process of iterating on animations and balancing professionalism with playfulness taught me a lot about design thinking. Most importantly, I created something that lets me share a part of me with the world.
