Building a personal portfolio | Getting started

I have just begun creating a personal portfolio website to submit as part of the App Platform Hackathon. I know I'm starting late. Better late than never! With just 8 days left till the deadline, I'll have to work fast to make a submission on time.

For the past year, I have been planning to create my personal portfolio. Because I have full-time school and work, I didn't have time to sit down and code. This short Christmas vacation has given me some free time to dedicate to this project. I have just 3 days until school resumes. Hopefully, I can complete over 70% of the project before then.

What I've done so far

Before I begin coding, here are a few tasks I've already done:

  • Signed up for Digital Ocean
  • Filled the form requesting credits
  • Searched for inspiration. I have been using awwwards.com and cssdesignawards.com to explore beautiful website effects and designs. Some cool effects and designs will be applied when creating my own portfolio. I already have a mental picture of what I want the site to look like. The only thing left now is execution :)

Next update coming soon!
