Cherry Augusta Portfolio

GitHub Pages portfolio for a London-based Junior Software Engineer focused on backend APIs, full-stack web applications, Angular and React frontend delivery, TypeScript-based integration, Python web engineering, SQL-backed development, Docker-based reproducibility, and OpenAPI-first engineering practices.

Live Site

• Repository: https://github.com/cherryaugusta/developer-portfolio-profile

Professional Focus

This portfolio presents software engineering work centred on:

• Django and Django REST Framework API development
• Angular and React frontend integration with TypeScript
• Python web engineering and SQL-backed application development
• OpenAPI-first and contract-aware development
• Docker-based local reproducibility
• Testing, CI/CD, and structured delivery workflows
• Real-time and scheduled application behaviour with Redis, Channels, and Celery
• Governance-aware and secure-by-default implementation patterns

Homepage Hero Visual

The homepage hero uses a project-based composite instead of a personal profile image.

Hero visual composition

• Main image: screenshots/lawpulse/frontend-selected-clause.png
• Supporting image 1: screenshots/greenops/frontend-dashboard.png
• Supporting image 2: screenshots/tradeflow/docker-healthy-services.png
• Supporting image 3: screenshots/ecoroute/api-docs-swagger.png

Why this visual direction

The hero composite is designed to communicate the strongest themes of the portfolio at a glance:

• LawPulse — product-grade full-stack interface and workflow complexity
• GreenOps — dashboard, business process, and authenticated workflow credibility
• TradeFlow Docker — reproducibility and operational realism
• EcoRoute Swagger — API-first discipline and documentation This makes the homepage more relevant to software engineering review than a personal photo and keeps the visual language aligned with the technical substance of the portfolio.

Technical Approach

The site uses:

• Semantic HTML
• Shared CSS for consistent layout and styling
• Small vanilla JavaScript for responsive navigation
• Static hosting compatible with GitHub Pages
• No build tooling

Design Direction

This version keeps the site GitHub Pages-friendly while improving:

• responsiveness across desktop, tablet, and mobile
• stronger visual hierarchy
• smoother spacing and card rhythm
• more premium hero and CTA presentation
• improved navigation behaviour on smaller screens
• more polished shadows, gradients, and glass effects
• stronger project-card presentation without changing the actual project content
• a more relevant hero visual based on real project evidence rather than a personal image

Preparing Images

Homepage hero composite

The homepage does not use assets/profile-photo.jpg or assets/profile-photo.webp. Instead, it uses a project-based composite built from existing screenshots:

• screenshots/lawpulse/frontend-selected-clause.png
• screenshots/greenops/frontend-dashboard.png
• screenshots/tradeflow/docker-healthy-services.png
• screenshots/ecoroute/api-docs-swagger.png Recommended:
• use high-resolution source screenshots
• keep browser chrome and UI readable
• favour clean crops over dense mosaics
• maintain visual contrast against the dark hero background
• avoid clutter or tiny unreadable interface fragments

Open Graph image

Add:

• assets/og-preview.jpg Recommended:
• 1200 × 630 px
• your name
• your role
• 3–4 core technologies
• optionally one clean project screenshot strip

Project screenshots

Use the real project subfolders and real filenames already captured, not flat placeholder names. Primary website screenshots:

• screenshots/lawpulse/frontend-selected-clause.png
• screenshots/greenops/frontend-dashboard.png
• screenshots/tradeflow/frontend-dashboard.png
• screenshots/ecoroute/angular-home-health-compute.png
• screenshots/opssentinel/frontend-dashboard.png
• screenshots/policypulse/frontend-home.png
• screenshots/fincrime-graphops/frontend-home.png
• screenshots/londonplan-rag/angular-health-page.png Recommended:
• landscape format
• 1600 px to 2000 px wide
• consistent browser style
• clean crop
• no sensitive or cluttered content
• application UI clearly visible
