First iteration of my personal online portfolio. I was interested in learning React.js, so I decided to design and build my first version of online portfolio over the weekend apart from my postgraduate research studies, as this would be the best way for me to learn the fundamentals of React.js and Material UI. However, there is still room for improvement and have a lot to learn. Note: I'm open to feedbacks and suggestions.
Tools and Frameworks:
- React
- Material UI
- Figma
- VS Code
- GitHub Actions CI/CD: Tutorial from Dyarlen Iber
Useful VS Code Extensions:
- ESLint
- Prettier
- Debugger for Chrome
Color Palette Selection and Design Ideas
- Coolers
- Adobe Color
- Pinterest for Design Ideas.
Thid Party NPM Libraries
- React Vertical Timeline by Stephane Monnot
- React Parallax Scrolling by Richard Rutsche
Future Work and Improvement
- Further research on custom ESLint and/or Prettier, e.g. Google and AirBnB in future portfolio
- Further research on responsiveness best practices, e.g. images, typography etc.
- Improvement on UI - How to present projects and publications?
- Colour Palette.
- Use of Databases to store projects and publications.
- Unit Testing.
- Continue learning React.js with more recreation project ideas.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
You can learn more in the Create React App documentation.
