🎨 I Built My Developer Portfolio at 14 — Here’s What I Learned

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

Hey everyone!

I’m a 14‑year‑old frontend developer, and I just finished creating my personal portfolio website. You can check it out here:

👉

I built the entire site using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My goal was to create a space where I can share my projects, track my progress, and show how my skills grow over time.

What I Focused On

• A clean, modern layout
• Smooth navigation between sections
• Responsive design for mobile
• A simple, readable way to showcase my projects

What I Learned

Building a portfolio helped me understand:

• How important structure and planning are
• Why clean code matters for bigger projects
• How to design something that represents me
• How motivating it is to see your work in one place

What’s Next

I’m still improving my JavaScript and working on bigger projects like:

• A 3D mobile FPS game with AI
• Story‑driven interactive content
• More frontend + backend experiments

I’ll keep adding new projects as I learn and grow.
