How I Built My First Portfolio with React and TailwindCSS
When I first decided to become a fullstack developer, I knew I needed a portfolio website.
It wasn’t just about showing my projects — it was about learning how to build something that feels like me.
What I Used
- React – for the component structure
- TailwindCSS – for fast styling
- Next.js – for routing and optimization
Challenges I Faced
- Balancing design with simplicity
- Making the site responsive
- Deploying it for free
What I Learned
- Don’t overcomplicate the design at first.
- Deployment is easier than it looks (thanks to Vercel).
- Iteration matters more than perfection.
That’s the beauty of building your own portfolio: it grows with you 🚀
