Finally built a portfolio/personal website. Can I get a review?

Hello everyone! I decided to put some time away this week and build a solid personal website and blog for myself and here's the final result: https://kartikn.me. It's built using Next.js and hosted on Vercel, the code for it is also open-source.

I just needed some advice because currently I'm a university student (in my first year) and I was considering getting a job over the summer break or working freelance. Would this be a good idea? Am I ready?

Very nice a clean website. Good job 👏
One thing that I would recommend changing is the size of the images. The max width they seem to be on my screen is ~650px yet the loaded images are ~4000px. Reducing the size of those images will greatly improve the load speed of your site :)

Looks very nice. Clean design, but not too “basic”. I liked the Noize.ml project. There is a typo in the url to producthunt. The w3c link checker is a nice tool to catch such things.

Portfolio looks amazing Kartik. Best part is the minimal design scheme!
Keep it up!
Adding dark/light theme toggle functionality will be a good thing to your portfolio.
Cheers

Nice work man. I like the go back home button.

I suppose you could work on the typography part and make the UX more appealing.

Website looks cool and simple. I hope you keep updating with more articles. I like to follow. If possible provide a follow button so we get updates once you keep updating in your website.
