Hello World — Building This Site

Why a Personal Site?

Every developer should have a space they own — not a social media profile, not a portfolio platform, but something they built from scratch.

This site is that space for me.

The Stack

I chose Astro because it fits exactly what a personal site needs:

  • Content-first — Markdown for blog posts, zero config
  • Performance — Ships zero JavaScript by default
  • Simplicity — No client-side framework unless I need one

Styling is done with Tailwind CSS in a brutalist/retro-postmodern aesthetic — monospace fonts, visible borders, terminal-inspired UI.

What’s Coming

More posts on:

  • Frontend architecture patterns
  • Canvas and real-time visualization tricks
  • Full-stack integration lessons from enterprise work
  • Explorations at the intersection of web dev and AI

Stay tuned.
