High School Specialty Program Website

THE WEBSITE IS NOT SECURE!!!

Link: http://lcse.epizy.com/

Skills: HTML, CSS, JS

The website was created in high school when I started learning about web development. It’s a simple website that entails the specialty program. I worked on this to develop my technical skills. The HTML entails the outline of the website. I design the website with Bootstrap framework and custom styles. The idea for design is simplicity. Finally, JS is used for website features such as smooth scrolling and form validation.

Research Papers

Over the years, I have accumulated various research papers covering different topics, and I’ve gained research and analysis skills. I honed my skills through the years. As a person struggling with writing in English, I set a goal to improve over the years. The order of these papers is proof of that.
