Welcome to my developer portfolio repository! This repository houses the code for my personal portfolio website, where I showcase my skills, projects, and expertise as a full stack developer.
About Me
Hey there! I'm Sahil Verma, a passionate full stack developer on a mission to craft extraordinary digital experiences. With a blend of creativity and technical prowess, I bring innovative ideas to life through code and design. Visit my portfolio at sahilverma.dev to learn more about me and my journey.
Tech Stack
My portfolio is powered by a combination of cutting-edge technologies that ensure an exceptional user experience:
- Next.js 13: The latest iteration of Next.js forms the backbone of my portfolio, enabling lightning-fast web applications with its advanced server-side rendering capabilities.
- Headless CMS - Sanity: Content management made simple. I leverage Sanity's headless CMS to seamlessly manage and update my portfolio's content, ensuring it's always fresh and engaging.
- TypeScript: The magic of type safety and enhanced code quality! TypeScript ensures my codebase remains maintainable and resilient, reducing bugs and streamlining development.
- Tailwind CSS: Rapid UI development has never been easier. I harness the power of Tailwind CSS to craft responsive, visually stunning, and highly customizable user interfaces.
- Framer Motion: Immerse visitors in captivating animations and interactions. Framer Motion empowers me to create fluid and engaging UI elements that enhance the overall experience.
Journey and Upgrades
This version of my portfolio represents a significant upgrade from its predecessor. The earlier version was developed using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, JavaScript, and Firebase. While that iteration was decent and similar in many ways, my coding skills have evolved over time, resulting in this improved version. I'm now able to deliver a more refined, high-performance, and visually appealing experience to users.
