Portfolio

Inspiration

This is a portfolio site for Derya Kilic. It was inspired by other creators' portfolios and has features aimed at minimalism and contemporary viewing. The WGAC Guidelines were considered for accessibility. Further research and analysis was conducted on different fonts and colours to better understand accessibility and user design/user interface concepts.

What it does

This simply outlines Kilic's professional achievements of her projects, while also giving insight into her personal life. Hiring managers and recruiters may use this as a way to contact her through either the form, or by exploring links to her other pages detailing her employment and contributions on LinkedIn and GitHub.

How we built it

The team initially met to compare and contrast different programming languages and tools to develop a sitemap and UML diagram. Various media such as videos, and photos aided in creating the final layout for the portfolio that suited both the teams needs. Individual work was conducted and fused to create the draft. Final additions were added to detail personal work and add visual aids. This was extracted from résumé's and GitHub repositories.

Challenges we ran into

Compatibility with operating systems was an issue. Understanding the requirements was challenging. Collaborating on the back-end and figuring out how to incorporate certain aspects was difficult to accomplish in a reasonable way.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The team is proud of accomplishing a finished product while remaining concerned with operating system compatibilities with regards to changes to the GitHub repository.

What we learned

The team re-learned some concepts as well as learned new ones. Working with the terminal and with collaborating on GitHub was something re-learned. Flask cards and different CSS keywords were something the team learned about, and will translate these concepts to the other teammate's portfolio.

What's next for Portfolio

The team will look into making this a single web application as this may be better for easier viewing. The team will also look into the bugs with regards to the back-end development. Updating the contact page will be good in addition to adding other live sites for projects. The projects page may be improved with additional aids with regards to mobile and accessible layouts. Finally, more projects to come, including this one!
