Darmigan - Stardance

I finally got this one into a working website.
I started with a simple visual idea — a dark, cinematic portfolio with a strong hero section — and slowly turned it into an actual interactive website.
The main focus was making it feel like me, not just another developer portfolio.
I worked on:

The cinematic hero section

Smooth scrolling and animations

3D / interactive elements

AI, IoT and 3D printing sections

Project showcase

Responsive design

The overall dark + cyan visual style

One thing I really enjoyed was seeing the design go from an image/reference in my head to something I could actually open in the browser and interact with.
It still isn’t “finished” in my mind — there are definitely more things I want to improve, especially the 3D interactions and some of the scroll animations.

I built a personal portfolio website to showcase my work in 3D printing, AI, IoT and engineering. I wanted it to feel more like a real personal website instead of a basic school project, so I spent time working on the dark futuristic design, animations, navigation and project sections.

One of the challenging parts was getting everything deployed properly on GitHub Pages and making sure the website worked outside localhost. I also had to figure out Git and deal with some merge issues while deploying it.

I’m most proud of how the final site brings my different interests together in one place. I also included my Flash Force 3D Printing business and some of my engineering projects.

To test it, open the deployed website and try the navigation, especially the 3D Printing section and the different project/contact sections.

Finally got my personal website to a point where I can share it .
I’ve been working on this for a while and I wanted to build something that was more than just a normal portfolio.
I wanted it to actually show what I’m interested in and what I’m building.
The site now has sections for my 3D printing work, AI/computer vision projects, IoT experiments, skills, projects and ways to contact me.
I also spent a lot of time working on the UI — dark theme, cyan/blue highlights, cards, animations, responsive sections and all the small details that make the site feel better.
Some of the projects shown are things I’ve actually worked on, like my JARVIS voice assistant, computer vision/object tracking, IoT systems and 3D printing projects.
It’s definitely not finished yet. I still want to add more interactions, animations and improve some sections.
But I’m finally happy with how far it has come, so I wanted to post the current version.
More updates coming as I keep building.
