Development Journey
This project has been a labor of love spanning several months. I utilized Cursor, a specialized tool for creating vintage computer-style interfaces, which allowed me to approximate the nostalgic Windows XP look while maintaining modern web standards. I’m happy to say the site has reached a stage where I’m comfortable with its current design and functionality.

Sharing My Process
For those interested, I will be publishing a series of posts on LinkedIn detailing my development journey and the creative process behind building this unconventional portfolio. I believe transparency and sharing insights can inspire others undertaking similar projects.
