    paper Simple Recipe Website

    I created Simple Recipe — a clean, responsive static website showcasing easy homemade recipes. Built with pure HTML5 and CSS3, it features a modern UI, animated image slider, category-themed styling, and interactive recipe cards. While intentionally lightweight, the project demonstrates strong front-end craftsmanship and serves as a foundation I regularly extend with full-stack technologies in enterprise settings.
    Key Front-End Features

    Fully responsive layout using CSS Grid + Flexbox + media queries
    Pure CSS fading image slider with @keyframes animation
    Page-specific theming (gradients, colored nav & card borders per category)
    Hover effects, rounded action buttons (“Buy”, “Nutrition Facts”, “Report”)
    Semantic HTML for accessibility and SEO
    Google Fonts integration (Poppins + Pacifico)
    Optimized images with object-fit and fixed aspect ratios

    Technical Highlights
    HTML5 · CSS3 (animations, transitions, custom properties) · Mobile-first responsive design · Cross-browser compatibility
    Enterprise & Full-Stack Experience
    Beyond this personal project, I have delivered large-scale applications using:

    Back-end: Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data JPA/Hibernate, REST APIs, microservices
    Front-end frameworks: Angular (with RxJS, NgRx), Angular Material, modern component architecture
    Databases: PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Redis (caching)
    Cloud & DevOps: AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda), Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
    Security & observability: OAuth2/JWT, rate-limiting, Prometheus + Grafana, ELK stack
    Other technologies: Node.js/Express, React (hybrid projects), GraphQL, Kafka/RabbitMQ, WebSocket

    In enterprise projects (finance, healthcare, e-commerce) I have:

    Built secure, high-throughput REST APIs handling millions of daily requests
    Developed complex SPAs consuming Spring back-ends in real time
    Designed event-driven systems and optimized performance under load

    The Simple Recipe site reflects my ability to deliver polished, fast-loading user interfaces quickly — skills I combine with robust back-end architecture and DevOps practices when building production systems.
