This repository contains the code for my Personal Portfolio Website, an assignment for my Web Application Development course. The website is built using Node and Express, and with EJS as the templating engine.
Please note that most of the textual contents in this website are fictitious, and some of them were even generated using AI. So, they only serve for the purpose of illustration only, and should not be taken literally.
A live demo of this website is located at http://zec5umo2.homeunix.net.

- A unique and custom logo is positioned within the navigation bar to enhance brand identity.
- The home page greets visitors with a warm welcome message.
- It also includes a mission statement and links to the About Me page and other sections of the portfolio.
- The Projects page showcases at least three significant projects, both past and ongoing.
- Each project is represented with a relevant image, a brief description of my role, and the outcome of the project.
- This page lists the services I offer, such as general programming, web development, and mobile application development.
- Accompanied by pertinent images, the presentation is visually appealing.
- This page presents my legal name and a professional head-and-shoulders image.
- It provides a concise paragraph about who I am, suitable for viewing by potential employers.
- The Contact page displays my contact information in a distinct panel.
