CS50X Final Project - Dynamic Personal Portfolio Website with Flask and Admin Panel
Hello everyone! In this video, I present my capstone project: a dynamic, full-stack personal portfolio website built from scratch using Python and Flask.
This project goes beyond a simple static site, incorporating a database, a secure admin backend, and automated email notifications to create a robust and interactive web application. Join me as I walk through the features, the technology stack, and the technical decisions that went into building it.
