# Developer portfolio demo

A warm, modern, two-page developer portfolio built with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The project is designed as a public demo portfolio that can be forked, customized and deployed without any framework setup.

The live content uses a fictional developer persona, **Aarav Mehta**, so the repository feels complete while staying safe to reuse as a starter portfolio.

## Preview

- `index.html` — home page with hero, about, skills, journey, experience, selected projects and contact section
- `project.html` — project showcase page with four case-study style project cards
- `style.css` — complete responsive styling, light/dark theme and animations
- `main.js` — theme toggle, mobile navigation, reveal animations, cursor interaction and terminal typing animation

## Demo persona

This repository uses sample content for a fictional frontend-focused developer named **Aarav Mehta**.

The demo includes placeholder education, journey, experience, project details, email, GitHub, LinkedIn and resume links. These details are included only to make the portfolio realistic and easy to customize.

Before using this as your own portfolio, replace the demo content with your real details.

## Features

- Responsive two-page portfolio layout
- Light and dark theme toggle
- Animated hero section with terminal-style typing
- Developer-focused project showcase
- Timeline-style journey section
- Professional experience roadmap
- SVG-based project mockups
- No build step required
- Easy deployment on Vercel, Netlify or GitHub Pages

3. Replace the journey and experience timeline with your own story.
4. Update project names, descriptions and links.
5. Replace the SVG images in `assets/` if you want your own visuals.

## Run locally

Because this is a static HTML/CSS/JS project, you can open `index.html` directly in a browser.

For a cleaner local development setup, use VS Code Live Server or run a simple local server:

```bash
python -m http.server 8000
```

Then open:

```txt

```
