This Site


Original Portfolio Homepage

I like to undertake small educational projects during my summers (e.g. completing reading lists or learning new skills). During the summer of 2019, I decided that learning the skills necessary to create a website would elevate my portfolio. Previously, my portfolio was hosted on a Wix site.

Over the course of about a month (June 29 - July 30), I completed Khan Academy's course on CSS and HTML. In early August, I started making my own website with plenty of additional help from Stack Overflow and w3schools. Please explore the website and feel free to leave feedback in the contact form; I'm always looking to improve. I'll be updating the timeline below to detail changes to the website. Next, I plan on learning JavaScript to add more involved interaction to parts of this site. (Summer 2019)
