Projects

Super Awesome Project

https://github.com/koushikhathwar

A modern, simple static resume template and theme powered by Jekyll and GitHub Pages.

I started this project as a way to learn React, and it has since grown into a fully-fledged application.
Through this project, I gained many skills and am proud to include it in my portfolio. If you don’t have a project as cool as this, I highly recommend starting one!
