PORTICO stands for Portfolio Offering Relevant Talents, Insights, and Creative Output.
This repository hosts the codebase for my interactive portfolio website. PORTICO is designed to be more than just a static collection of work; it's an engaging platform built to showcase my skills, share the stories and processes behind my projects, and cultivate a strong online presence. The primary goal is to bridge my professional journey with future opportunities and collaborations by offering an insightful and dynamic look into my capabilities and creative output. This interactive experience aims to leave a lasting impression and clearly demonstrate my passion for development and design. ✨
