I wonder why everyone uses React and other complicated stuff for their simple static portfolio :) How about a simple html file or even a static page generator which is pure HTML and CSS with a touch of JS?

Anyway you need some extra stuff there it's kind of boring. Home and About should be merged into one page IMO.

Thanks for the feedback, I used React to get some more experience with it. I have definitely used different methods as you say, wordpress, end templates, simple html and css. I think that using different techniques is helpful for showing a potential employer yes I have coded something in technology-x. You know I haven't put much on there in a while so maybe it's time to refresh it as you suggest. Thanks much.

That makes sense. But also think about over-engineering :) I'd rather develop some little web apps like todo list, shopping cart demo etc. to showcase some technology. Rather than using it for a simple static page for no reason.
