My third experience was also my longest. This project originally was slated to take a few months, but as I continued to take on new responsibilities, this project fell to the wayside. Although I was excited to make progress, the lack of rigid deadlines made it very easy to put off the work for “another day”. Most of the work I completed was done in bursts, and I want to continue to improve it. I spent a large amount of my time focusing on the Udemy courses I purchased, and finished off with creating this website itself. This included learning skills I did not necessary include in the website at this time, which included JavaScript/TypeScript which increases the dynamicness of what I can do, and React/Vue which is a better structure system than the simple one I used. Another chunk of time was purely dedicated to figuring out how to set up the custom URL, and various other backend things that allow this site to stand.
My website is not yet finished. I will be adding more information to what is already here, filling out present sections, and making the site generally more versatile and enthralling. I know I am capable of making the website much better, it is just a matter of sitting down and making the time for it. I want to include JavaScript as I learned in my Udemy courses, and make it more dynamic.
In the future, I will be continuing to update my portfolio website, and will be continuing to improve it. I have many ideas I still want to test out. I hope to include more features such as parallax scrolling and animations as I gain more knowledge in web development. I also plan to continue to utilize this website post-graduation as it will serve not only as my honors website, but as my portfolio. As a computer science student, the website itself serves as an opportunity to show what I can accomplish. If I want to showcase what I can do, I need the showcase itself to stand out, too.
