About The Project

This project began in June 2023 during my internship as a Software Developer. Throughout my internship, I acquired numerous technical skills and a deepened passion for web development. Leveraging this newfound knowledge, I decided to create a portfolio website to showcase my skills, projects, and experiences.

Objectives

The primary goal of this website is to present a professional and polished view of my capabilities and work. I chose a minimalistic and neutral color scheme to reflect my direct, focused, and organized nature. Instead of a traditional one-page layout, I opted for a slides layout, incorporating punchy, minimalistic slide-in animations. The design of this website is inspired by the clean aesthetics of Apple and Keita Yamada, along with a deep introspection on what truly matters to me.

Design Philosophy

• Minimalism: Emphasizing simplicity and clarity, ensuring the content stands out without unnecessary distractions.
• Neutral Tone: Using a subdued color palette to maintain a professional and elegant appearance.
• Slide Layout: Offering a unique browsing experience that engages users through smooth transitions and animations.
• Accessibility: Ensuring the website is accessible to all users with proper ARIA labels and semantic HTML.
• Responsive Design: Providing a seamless experience across all device sizes.

Key Features

• Dark/Light Mode: System-aware theme switching with smooth transitions
• Responsive Layout: Optimized for all screen sizes from mobile to desktop
• Modern Animations: Smooth page transitions and micro-interactions using Framer Motion
• Blog Platform: Integrated blog system for sharing thoughts and experiences
• Contact Form: Interactive contact form with email integration and form validation
• Project Showcase: Detailed project presentations with live demos and descriptions
• Performance Optimized: Fast loading times with optimized images and code splitting
• Type-Safe: Built with TypeScript for enhanced code reliability
• SEO Friendly: Optimized meta tags and semantic structure
