It's very nice.. but just try to create a good light and dark theme because I think it's not fully implemented

I like the look. Is it a theme or did you design from scratch? I'd be impressed if it was from scratch.

This portfolio looks perfect for a start! But I would recommend adding more animations and visual effects to enhance the user experience. You can explore libraries such as Framer Motion or GSAP.

also I didn't add any animation to avoid too much libraries to used.
what I used is vanilla javascript.

One more point to pay attention to - you know backend too. You gained even more respect as full-stack ;)

Hey, there first of your portfolio looks amazing. Just noticed that under the Projects Showcase section you forgot to update the description for Bicycle Rent Timer.

It looks neat. I would place the main button to the right as a better CTA strategy...

It's clean and appealing to look at, overall well done Chris. Just a thought right: for my portfolio I put my projects section first ( at 02.) so that employers immediately see that as I believe application of skills carries more value. Idk just my own preference, cool site nonetheless👌🔥

Don't ever give up bro, same with me, then again I'm still studying but I have seen so many graduates (some friends) struggle to find a dev job or one that aligns with their interests. It's a struggle most of us are facing, not even getting to the interview because some companies won't give you a chance. We have to continue trying though. The right company will not just overlook and underestimate your ability.

Nice work.

One thing: the bullets look a bit too much like play buttons.

Hello bro, I like your portfolio. I’m also a learner and currently building a full-stack project using MERN. I’m looking for a companion to build projects together. Can I contact you to share my project ideas and get some help from you?

The order of the buttons on the header is wrong, the Experience button and the Projects button are reversed.
When scrolling down to the bottom, the back to top button is very difficult to press.

Thank you for your feedback.

I see I think because of the z-index on the CV part.

"the Experience button and the Projects button are reversed." this part you mean the tags at the bottom. what you are point is it should be reverse?

can you tell me more?

Because the Experience button will move to the section below the Projects button, the Experience button should be placed on the left and the Projects button on the right (swap these two buttons).
