Oh for sure! You could just do your name for it!

I really like the styling of it -- Playfair is one of my favorite fonts. You could increase font size a little bit for the body content, and for the secondary headers in the top square. You also may want a link to contact you in that initial section so that people can access that fast, I would make it some bolder color too. Again, looks awesome!

Hey! Congrats on graduating, I miss teaching on campus there!

I have a Twitter thread that I put together forever ago on my career advice. But, especially in DC, go to meetups. There are so many -- DCTechCal has a ton of awesome ones listed. You'll meet a ton of people there who can be super helpful. Also, I think having an awesome portfolio is especially important for bootcamp grads -- I have a post on creating them and I'm totally willing to look over anybody's site!

Dealing with imposter syndrome is a whole nother animal, and I definitely don't have a solution. I've been doing this for a few years, and I still definitely struggle with it. That being said, compare yourself to past you instead of anybody else -- think about how much you've grown as a developer and all that you know compared to 12 weeks ago. I also find it really helpful to keep track of my wins or nice feedback from people and go back over that on hard days. I organize it all on Google Keep -- whether it be nice comments from students, a link to a cool project I made, a quick note on something being easy now that used to be hard, or even just a compliment from a friend that meant a lot.

I really like both of these questions -- I may do longer form answers in the near future!

I'd love if you could take a look at my portfolio and let me know what you think if you had the chance! I could use some feedback on well pretty much everything. I read through your blog post and I'm working on getting a custom url asap. A play on words with my name isn't so easy 😅. Thank you so much for your advice! Portfolio -- https://dlousa92.github.io/
