# Deploy to Vercel
vercel deploy --prodThe portfolio uses sophisticated scroll-driven animations:
// Conceptual pseudo-code
const scrollProgress = window.scrollY / (document.height - window.innerHeight);
// Camera positioning
camera.position.z = initialZ + scrollProgress * zTravel;
camera.position.x = Math.sin(scrollProgress * Math.PI) * offsetX;
// Card animations
cards.forEach((card, index) => {
card.position.y = scrollProgress * cardDistance - (index * spacing);
card.rotation.z = scrollProgress * rotationAmount;
});
// Text fades
projectText.opacity = calculateOpacityBasedOnScroll(scrollProgress);- Dark Professional Theme: Modern, sophisticated aesthetic
