Hey Devs! 👋
I just launched my developer portfolio, and I’m super excited to share it with the community. It’s not just a showcase — it’s a reflection of what I’m learning, building, and where I want to grow.
🔗 Live Demo: https://behan-portfolio.vercel.app
💻 What I Used
Here’s the stack that powers this portfolio:
- React + Vite — for a fast, modular frontend
- Material UI — for sleek, responsive component styling
- GSAP — for animations and smooth transitions
- MongoDB Atlas — cloud database for full-stack projects
- Node.js + Express — backend API structure
- Render — to host backend APIs
- Vercel — to deploy and scale the frontend with ease
🎬 Design Highlights
To make it more immersive, I added a dark jellyfish ocean video background. Combined with GSAP animations, the site feels dynamic and alive — I didn’t want a static resume site, I wanted motion and character.
🛠️ Projects Section
The portfolio has 5 project slots:
- ✅ 2 finished projects are fully deployed and accessible
- ⏳ 3 "Coming Soon" cards are used to avoid empty spots
- 🧪 I’m actively building a real-time chat app using Socket.IO — it’s my current focus and will be added soon!
📄 Features
- Resume download
- Clean, mobile-first responsive design
- Animated landing page
- Future-ready blog section (might launch soon)
🤝 Let’s Connect!
I’m still early in my journey as a MERN stack developer and always open to feedback — design, structure, accessibility, anything!
Your suggestions will help me spot areas I may have overlooked, and honestly, a bit of support goes a long way when you're building solo. 🙂

That’s really cool!
Can you tell me how you made the background look cloudy?
Hey Urvashi! Thanks so much 😊
The cloudy effect in the background comes from a dark jellyfish ocean video that I used as a full-page background. I applied some CSS filters like brightness and contrast to tone it down and make the UI elements stand out more clearly.
It’s basically a video running behind everything with a semi-transparent dark overlay to keep it subtle. Adds a cool, underwater, cloudy vibe without distracting too much.
Let me know if you'd like the code I used — happy to share!
