Portfolio Website

Project Overview

This portfolio website is a comprehensive showcase of my skills, projects, and experience as a developer. Built as a semester-long project for my Web Development Engineering class at CSUF, it features responsive design, interactive elements, and an organized structure to effectively communicate my work to potential employers and collaborators.

Technologies Used

Implementation Details

Responsive Design Highlight

One achievement I'm particularly proud of is the mobile/desktop responsiveness implementation on the Skills page. Rather than simply rearranging elements, I created completely separate HTML structures with tailored interaction models for each device type. Desktop charts use hover interactions with "Hover to see data" prompts, while mobile versions use touch interactions with "Select to see data" instructions. This device-specific approach delivers truly optimized experiences without requiring JavaScript to restructure the page based on screen size.
