Personal Portfolio Website

A fully responsive, Flask-based portfolio website designed and developed to showcase my technical skills, projects, experience, and professional interests. This project serves as both a personal branding platform and a practical demonstration of my full-stack web development capabilities.

Project Overview

The website provides visitors with a centralized platform to learn about my background, explore my projects, review my technical skills, and contact me directly. It was built from the ground up using Python, Flask, HTML, CSS, and modern frontend design practices.

Beyond presenting information, the website incorporates real-world backend functionality, including form processing, email automation, and data storage, making it a complete web application rather than a static portfolio page.
