HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap4

Revamped my personal website as a weekend project to refresh my front-end skills. Learned about responsive web-design, SEO techniques, clean-coding principles and intermediate CSS skills in the process. I believe that skills are best learnt when applied to an actual project. Check out my blog to see how I built it!

HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery

Created a fun, interactive game akin to the classic Simon Says Game. The game consists of 4 buttons each of a different color. A button would flash at random and the user has to follow the pattern. Learned about advanced JavaScript concepts including manipulating objects with jQuery and adding event listeners.

HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap4

Created a static website for a fictional startup called tinDog that acts as tinder for dogs. Learned more about CSS box model, absolute and relative positioning, z-indexing, stacking order, media query breakpoints as well as Bootstrap grid layout. Applied concepts of typography, UI and code-refactoring towards this project.
