Sunday, 24 November - Day 9 of 75

🌟 Short Summary

A productive day building a brand-new portfolio site from scratch, laying the foundation for showcasing my work and personal brand! 💻✨

🛠️ Detailed Progress and Achievements

Portfolio Site Development:

Spent the entire day (around 9 hours) creating a single-page React app with features including:

Smooth scrolling and custom grid section layouts for a seamless user experience.

Integrated Tailwind CSS for styling.

Added sections for:

CV download
Project previews with links
Reviews/testimonials from clients and coworkers.
A contact form connected to a backend service for email messaging.

Purchased a custom domain matching my social media handle for consistent branding. I’m excited to wrap up the remaining bits before publishing it!

Platform Plans:

Once the portfolio is live, I’ll shift focus back to:

Completing Convex integration.
Finalizing Clerk auth setup.
Reconfiguring components to work with Convex instead of Appwrite.

Upcoming Tasks: Prepared for an early appointment tomorrow and a video call with a recruiter from Arnold Clark, exploring a dev opportunity.

🐾 Daily Routine

Took a few hours to unwind by watching a TV series after a long day. 📺

Completed my daily mathematics lesson. 🧮

Responded to some personal messages before calling it a night.

🔮 Looking Ahead Tomorrow’s focus will be on finalizing the portfolio, progressing on the platform, and preparing for the recruiter call. Fingers crossed for new opportunities! 🤞

✨ Final Thoughts Today was incredibly productive, and I’m excited about the direction my projects are heading. Building the portfolio feels like a huge step forward in showcasing my work and personal brand. 🚀
