Why?

I have built a few portfolio's, but I wanted one that really showed my skills as a web developer. I wanted a portfolio that didn't only serve as a place for recruiters to stop by and be wowed by my skills, but I thought this should also be a place where people can actually see what I do, and can pay for my services.

Future Features!!!

Menu ideas:

• Every hover changes the background picture !Currently only for large screens

onMouseEnter = change picture to this thingy onMouseLeave = change picture back to original

also a way to make the pictures not as overwhelming would be to make them faded, and to animate them to fly in rather than abruptly change

Also, each li could have a video that plays of like a pokemon that interacts with the word. **Charzard stands up and shoots fire at the home li which catches fire and falls to the bottom of the div in ashes.

Home ideas:

• When hovering over the word WEB DEVELOPER it expands
• When you click on the Word it flips the div over and shows a 'Spin' component.
• The component works like the apple date select where you and click and drag to 'spin' through the different tech that I am familiar with.

Kind of looks like this.

• When hovering over my image the Github && LinkedIn icons appear, and expand. They are clickable.
