I'm looking at it on an iPad and the text is quite difficult to read.

Symmetry is visually pleasing. The three blocks in the project section are all different heights and each has a different sized image which is awkward to look at.

When building ux and ui ask yourself does the /animation|feature|interface/ actually make the experience better than not having it. Does the animation pulling in the projects or loading the blog posts or changing the background color actually improve the users experience?

I think you are on the right path and will have lots of opportunities to build cool things.
