Portfolio Website v4 — Personal Playground
Built as a personal experimentation space using modern web standards and progressive enhancement principles. The architecture implements semantic HTML5 with ARIA landmarks for accessibility, CSS Grid with named grid areas for intuitive layout management, and custom CSS properties for dynamic theming. Built with the help of vibe coding for playful exploration. The navigation system utilizes smooth-scroll behavior with scroll-margin for precise positioning and History API for client-side routing without page reloads. Interactive components leverage Web Components API for encapsulated, reusable elements with Shadow DOM for style isolation. The project implements Service Workers for offline functionality, IndexedDB for client-side data persistence, and Web Animations API for performant JavaScript-driven animations. Performance optimizations include resource hints (preload, prefetch), lazy loading with Intersection Observer, and code splitting for faster initial load. This project was inspired by personal developer blogs and experimental portfolios from the GitHub community.
