Yeah, we have in demand skills but so do a lot of other people (espeicslly on a world wide scale). When everyone has "python developer" or "javascript developer" in their tag line, how do you stand out?

I built an entire custom website in Vue.js with multiple pages about me and market that URL out. It's got:

- Great design and colors
- Fancy custom animations and iconography
- Catchy homepage with summary
- About me page
- Portfolio page with cards that flip back and forth, linking out to each project's codebase, demo app, and summary of what it is/does and the tech stack used
- Resume page, with a scrollable animated timeline of my experience, resume can be viewed, downloaded, or saved to google drive with easy to click links
- Skills page, outlining all the different languages, frameworks, tooling, etc that I've used over my career
- Contact page, to send me an email to get in touch
- Social links - github, npm, twitter, and soundcloud (I also do music)
