Starting from scratch

My old portfolio was a cloned template. It looked fine, but none of it was mine. Not the code, not the design decisions, not the trade-offs.

So I deleted everything and started over with three goals:

  1. Write about what I learn. Every post here is a note to my past self.
  2. Keep a timeline. A running, honest log of what I've worked on instead of a static resume.
  3. Iterate in public. This site itself is a project: small, understandable, and mine.

The stack is intentionally boring: Next.js, Tailwind, and MDX files in a folder. No CMS, no database. Adding a post is just adding a file.

More soon.
