Personal Portfolio Website

Overview

This personal portfolio website is a custom-built platform to highlight my technical expertise and project achievements. Designed with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it features detailed pages for individual projects like QR Code Generator, Hate Speech Detection, Employee Management System, and Inventory Management System. Hosted on Netlify, it offers a responsive, visually appealing experience with a carousel for media and a clean, modular structure, reflecting my skills in web development and project presentation.
