Personal Portfolio Webpage - Build a Personal Portfolio Webpage

Tell us what’s happening:
Margins and I will never be friends… I set the width and height of the h1 element to 100vw and 100vh to take up the whole viewport but I am left with a tiny white stripe down the whole left side of the screen. Can somebody help me figure out why? Thank you:)
