Introduction to the Portfolio Series

We are building a portfolio website from scratch using React Native and Tailwind CSS. In the previous video, we created the navigation bar and hero section. Now, we move to the About Me section.

Setting Up the About Me Component

Start by importing the About Me component into your main app. Ensure the component is properly linked to display in the portfolio. This section will be the foundation for the About Me content.

Styling the Background and Layout

The About Me section has a purple background and a predefined height. We style the container to be responsive and centered. Use Tailwind classes to set the background color and dimensions.

Adding the About Me Text and Description

Add a heading for “About Me” with a two-part design: “About” in one color and “Me” in another. Include a descriptive paragraph below. Use Tailwind for text styling, including font size, weight, and color.

Creating the Role Items with Hover Effects

The section includes three roles: Front End Developer, Mac End Developer, and UI Developer. Each item has a hover effect. We create these as interactive elements and style them with Tailwind.
