Most developer portfolios look the same:
I wanted something different. Something people actually remember.
So I built a portfolio that looks and feels like a classic Windows 95 desktop.
When you visit the site, you see:
When the page loads, it shows a retro boot screen before revealing the desktop. This sets the mood immediately.
Each icon (Projects, Writing, Contact) opens a window when clicked — just like real Windows 95.
Windows can be dragged around the screen using Framer Motion's drag constraints.
I added a writing section where I publish articles about Flutter, Django, and AI.
A working contact form so people can reach out directly.
