The article discusses the author's journey in launching a personal portfolio at anmolbaranwal.com after realizing the limitations of social media profiles in showcasing their skills and personality. Despite having a foundation in UX, technical writing, and development, the author found the UI design aspect particularly challenging. They shifted from traditional design tools to hands-on building, which simplified the design process. While the portfolio is functional and visually appealing, the author acknowledges performance issues on mobile devices and anticipates future enhancements.
I've always believed that social profiles are more than enough and you don't really need a portfolio, but it’s hard to show your story and personality without one.
Coding was tough for sure, but UI designing was tougher. I struggled for months until I decided to start building instead of just designing.
I wanted a portfolio that required minimum effort to update, which influenced my approach to the build process, especially in the projects section.
I've deployed my portfolio on anmolbaranwal.com, and while I have plans for more features, I feel it's good enough to show the world.
