Overview
Building a modern, interactive portfolio website with a focus on performance, accessibility, and creative UX animations. This project showcases advanced frontend development techniques and responsive design principles.
Tech Stack
Modern frontend technologies and best practices:
- HTML5 — Semantic markup for accessibility
- CSS3 — Custom properties, Grid, Flexbox, animations
- JavaScript (Vanilla) — Intersection Observer, scroll effects, DOM manipulation
- Performance — Lazy loading, GPU acceleration, requestAnimationFrame
Key Features
- Glassmorphism UI — Modern glass effect with backdrop-filter
- Scroll Animations — Parallax, stagger effects, and smooth reveals
- Interactive Feedback — Tap effects, hover states, micro-interactions
- Responsive Design — Mobile-first approach with fluid layouts
- Performance Optimization — 60fps animations, lazy loading
Development Process
The development followed an iterative approach with continuous refinement:
- Design System — Established color palette, typography, and spacing
- Component Architecture — Built reusable card components with glass effects
- Animation Layer — Implemented scroll-triggered animations with Intersection Observer
- Performance Tuning — Optimized for 60fps using requestAnimationFrame
- Accessibility — Ensured keyboard navigation and screen reader support
Technical Highlights
Advanced frontend techniques implemented:
Glassmorphism Effect
CSS backdrop-filter with layered glass effect and animated highlights:
backdrop-filter: blur(28px) saturate(180%)
border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4)
Scroll Parallax
requestAnimationFrame for smooth 60fps parallax scrolling:
Different cards move at varying speeds (0.2x - 0.4x) creating depth
Intersection Observer
Efficient viewport detection for stagger animations:
threshold: 0.15 with rootMargin optimization
Results & Impact
- Performance — 60fps animations on mobile devices
- Accessibility — WCAG 2.1 AA compliant with keyboard navigation
- User Experience — Smooth, creative interactions that delight users
- Responsive — Seamless experience across all device sizes
- Code Quality — Modular, maintainable, and well-documented
This project demonstrates proficiency in modern frontend development, creative problem-solving, and attention to detail in both design and implementation.
