Animations & Interactions

Framer Motion:

Utilized for scroll reveals, button hovers, and elegant AnimatePresence transitions for a polished feel.

GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform):

Employed for sophisticated page entrance animations and complex scroll-triggered sequences to create dynamic storytelling.

React Three Fiber (R3F):

Used to render beautiful 3D models and effects, adding a unique, engaging layer to the user interface.

Challenges & Learnings

Scroll-Synced Navigation:

Creating a smooth, real-time feedback loop between scroll position and the active navigation link.

Combining Animation Libraries:

Using Framer Motion for component-based animations and GSAP for more complex, timeline-based sequences without performance conflicts.

State Management:

Ensuring a clean and predictable state across all modular components and pages, especially for interactive elements.

Custom Theming:

Extending Tailwind CSS to create a bespoke, consistent design system that matches a specific aesthetic.

Final Outcome

Blazing-Fast Performance: Deployed on Netlify, the site achieves high scores on Lighthouse, demonstrating a focus on performance optimization.

Recruiter Engagement: The polished design and interactive elements have proven to be a valuable tool for showcasing frontend and animation capabilities to potential employers and clients.

Reusable Structure: The modular architecture has served as a template for other client-facing projects, saving significant development time.
