Celebrating a Major Milestone: Launching My Personal Portfolio After Two Years of Development

After a lengthy period marked by start-and-stop efforts—sounds familiar to many developers—I am thrilled to announce the completion and launch of my personal website. This project, a two-year journey, culminates in a dynamic and interactive platform that not only showcases my work but also offers an immersive glimpse into my development process.

An Interactive Showcase of Creativity and Technical Mastery

The site is more than a simple portfolio; it embodies a transparent and engaging system that reflects my approach to engineering and design. Visitors can explore a variety of features, including four procedurally generated backgrounds, a terminal-like footer, and custom-rendered content—all crafted to enhance user experience and showcase technical prowess.

Key Features and Technical Highlights

• Procedural Background Generators:
  Utilizing pure Canvas API (without external libraries), I’ve created four distinct backgrounds: hologram cubes, recursive circuit diagrams, psychedelic mandalas, and quantum node networks. Ensuring smooth performance and visual fidelity remains a top priority as I continue refining these algorithms.

• Interactive Terminal Footer:
  More than a visual element, the footer acts as a functional command-line interface, complete with commands, hidden easter eggs, and an amusing custom crash screen that triggers a mini Dino game coded in JavaScript.

• Custom-Made Markdown Renderer:
  I’ve built a bespoke rendering system incorporating KaTeX for mathematical expressions and Mermaid for diagrams, ensuring a seamless and visually consistent content experience.

• Accessibility-First Design:
  Respecting user
