A creative showcase of what a backend developer can achieve when they decide to have a bit of fun with frontend development. This portfolio website is an interactive experience that pays homage to the films, games, and TV shows from the 80s and 90s that influenced me into becoming a software engineer.
From playing Gizmos & Gadgets on Windows 95 at 6 years old, to building robots inspired by Robot Wars, to being fascinated by the programming concepts in Jurassic Park—this site brings together all those nostalgic influences into one interactive portfolio.
