Why I’m Building My Developer Portfolio Publicly

Most developers treat a portfolio as a static page — a list of skills, a few projects, and a contact form.
I decided to do it differently.

This portfolio is not just to show what I’ve built, but to document how I think, learn, and make decisions as a developer.

Context

Over the last couple of years, I’ve worked with multiple tech stacks — Node.js, Angular, React, WordPress — across different kinds of projects.
What I realized was this:

Skills alone don’t reflect problem-solving ability.

So instead of only showcasing finished work, I want this space to show the process behind the work.


What I’m Doing Differently

  • Writing posts alongside building projects
  • Explaining why I chose a certain approach, not just what I used
  • Documenting mistakes, refactors, and improvements
  • Treating this portfolio as a long-term knowledge base

The goal is clarity — for others, and for my future self.


Key Learnings So Far

  • Clean thinking matters more than complex code
  • Consistency builds credibility faster than perfection
  • Real-world decisions are rarely black and white
  • Writing improves technical clarity
