My 2021 portfolio was an opportunity for me to take on several challenges and to push my limits. The first portfolio I made was several years ago only to discover React and not to showcase my front-end development skills. For this portfolio, it was different, I liked several feature ideas and I wanted to implement them.

First of all I wanted a portfolio in dark mode because I liked it and I had been thinking about it for a while. I also wanted my portfolio to be as easy to use as possible and to access the information and my projects as easily as possible. I also saw the horizontal scroll on different sites and wanted to implement it on this one, using GSAP, it also allowed me to make some effects.

One of the features I wanted to implement on my site was horizontal scrolling. Moreover, I wanted to learn how to use GSAP so what better way than to learn with a goal. I was able to go deeper into this subject, by animating the different sections with scroll. For those who have the eye, I also added a skew according to the velocity of the scroll on the sections to bring more dynamism.

Linking the horizontal and vertical scroll (on the project page) was also another challenge I wanted to tackle and that I managed to implement. The different animations of the cursor, the fade-in, fade-out was also designed with the help of GSAP. The about page was totally designed using mostly CSS animations and attribute data to link the content according to the hovered section in JS.
