Mine isn't a full portfolio yet, but plan to add projects and things in there.

Its built using Laravel, I also have a custom admin panel for adding blog posts etc.

It's definitely got potential to be amazing! Did you build the backend yourself or are you using a prebuilt tool for Laravel?

I built it all from scratch.
I normally avoid packages if I can write the code myself. (even if its worse).

Nothing wrong with that. That is how you learn! I built a CMS for Dungeons and Dragons with Laravel. I really enjoyed using Laravel, so I definitely think you made a good choice there!
