One of my first web projects.
Nowadays, every professional searching for an opportunity needs to highlight their skills. That’s why I created my portfolio to stand out to future enterprises or recruiters. It started as a class project. Initially, it was made using PHP to show data dynamically from a MySQL database. I could access an admin menu where I could edit or add more information in some areas.
However, the service that allowed me to host the PHP project was somewhat expensive. So, I decided to convert everything into a static HTML file to host it on a Github page. I forgot to mention that the styling was made using Bootstrap and some CSS, of course. This worked for a long time, but having all the information in one file made it harder to read and edit. I also noticed many areas for optimization after working with other projects and people who taught me principles about separating content into different components and making my code readable and reusable.
That’s why I decided in 2024 to revamp my Portfolio (the one you’re viewing right now), fixing all the issues of the first version.
I chose to showcase this simple project to demonstrate my evolution in logic, clean code, and component division. I also incorporated new technologies and libraries that allowed me to improve SEO, speed optimization, and features like internationalization, styling and responsive design
Anyway, this first version could be easily used by anyone who is starting in this world and wants to practice some skills and have a first portfolio.
