Hey dev.to community! 👋
I've just launched my developer portfolio, and I'd love to get your honest (but gentle, please 😅) feedback from the dev pros out there. It features my journey so far, showcasing a mix of JavaScript projects, design work, and some cool real-world coding adventures.
What I'm Looking For: 🔍
Page Quality: Does my page look clean, or does it scream “copy-paste from StackOverflow”? 🧑💻 Any tips to improve structure?
Design & UX: Does the layout make you want to click everything, or does it feel like navigating Windows Vista? 😜 What could make the user experience smoother?
Project Showcases: Am I showing off my projects the right way? 🛠️ Would you swipe right on my portfolio if it was a dev Tinder? 💻
General Advice: Got any pro-tips for leveling up my portfolio game? 🕹️ I want it to look less “first project” and more “hire this dev ASAP.”
A Little About Me: 😎
I’m all about front-end development, especially mastering the trifecta of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I’ve been geeking out on DOM manipulation, responsive design, and building cool interactive features. One day I plan to dive into app development and join the ranks of sleep-deprived app devs. 🐱💻
Check out my portfolio here and let me know what you think! All constructive feedback is welcome—even if it's just to point out my inconsistent indentations... 😅
Thanks in advance, dev fam! 🙌
(Oh, and if anyone can figure out how to get my pig game to actually line up on mobile screens, I’ll owe you a lifetime supply of virtual high-fives. 🙌 I’ve been this close to chucking my laptop out the window at least three times in the last 3 hours. What you see now is the result of me wrestling with zero responsiveness to...well, slightly less zero responsiveness. 😂 Please send CSS prayers and media query magic my way!

nobody 😢 ... is it THAT bad?
I'm not a pro to review by any means, I'd suggest reddit for that, but I'm also not the worst!
I thought the resume and text portfolio parts were well written, nicely tailored, and on point.
The parts about your client this year were most compelling; next was your education.
I liked the pig dice game!
Here are some critical thoughts, but they're only ideas, not suggestions:
Regarding flawlessness, perfectionism can be problematic
That hero image is interesting to the point of distracting, especially behind your photo
In hiring, I'm not sure prominent use of the color red best conveys hireable qualities
While CSS gradients can be artful, they may work best as part of a larger visual effect
My CSS prayers might spell doom, lol, but keep at it!
