Infinite horizontal scroll menu

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a bit of guidance on the following: I'd like to make an infinite horizontal scroll-menu, preferably where the middle "card" is a bit larger than the others. My absolute dream would be to create something like the (purple) image. However that was coded in GSAP and looks a bit too complicated for me. Hence I'm looking for alternatives. Do you have any tips/Youtube-vids on what do to next, without making it instantly complicated? What I have so far It's just a simple set-up so far. The second image is what it looks like at the moment.

Bit of background A couple of months ago I quit my job to have myself re-schooled into software engineer. As for my final project I have to make a portfolio and I taught it would be a nice challenge to make a site from my portfolio.
As the other pieces are rather 'simple', I want the first page to have something more challenging. I don't use any frameworks, just Javascript/CSS/Html and a tiny bit of PHP.
