My First Blog Post: Portfolio Overview

Introduction

Welcome to my first blog post! This post is written in MDX, which lets me combine standard Markdown with custom React components.

When I was buidling the site I decided I wanted to have a terminal aesthetic. In addition, I didn't want the website to feel basic or generic, so I took a lot of insparation from the tool sniffnet.

Site Structure

The main page functions like a dashboard with several sections:

• Home: The landing view with the command terminal and a brief intro.
• Projects: Displays cards linking to detailed descriptions of my work.
• Experience: A log of my work history and significant involvements.
• Skills: A matrix visualizing my proficiency across different technologies. (based on my confidence)
• Contact: A form to get in touch.
• Blog: (You are here!) Where I will write about tech, projects, and more.

Technology Stack

This site is built using modern web technologies:

1. Next.js: A React framework for building server-rendered and statically generated web applications.
2. React: The core JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
3. Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework for rapid styling.
4. MDX: Allows embedding React components within Markdown for rich content like this blog.
5. TypeScript: Adds static typing to JavaScript for better code quality and maintainability.

Content

When I was deciding what projects to include I didn't want to include my most recent projects, but the projects I felt that represented overall what I was doing at that time and my growth.
