Portfolio Foundations
This portfolio serves as a foundation for showcasing my technical depth and project journey.
🔨 What I’ve Built So Far
- Designed and launched this portfolio using React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS
- Architected with reusable components following the Single Responsibility Principle
- Embraced Composition over Inheritance to keep the UI flexible and scalable
- Built features such as:
- Dynamic experience section
- Robust project display with filtering and showcasing what I can do
- Component display API library to display some of my reusbale frontend components I have made
Why a blog??
- I want to share my journey, not just my resume. This blog will document my projects, technical challenges, and solutions.
- I also want to experiment with different SEO strategies and content formats to see what kind of traffic and engagement I can generate. Blog posts are the perfect way to grab hits through google search and other channels.
- My plan is to eventually turn this blog feature to showcase hits and statistics of how well posts and pages are doing by looking and showing metrics relating to clicks, average time on page, where users navigate to from what. But for now? Just word jargon!
🚀 Coming Soon: A Home Game Poker Tracking App
-
Tech Stack:
- Frontend: React + Shadcn for a responsive UI
- Backend: C# + ASP.NET Core for scalable APIs
- Database: PostgreSQL for robust data management
-
Project Goals:
- Track and manage buyins of players in a home game poker setting
- Group and member management for home games
- Scalable infrastructure for public use
- Full open-source on release
-
Why Poker?: It's the perfect blend of engineering, UX challenge, and something I am passoniate about! In college, me and my friends would play poker every week, and I always wanted to build a tool to track our games and stats.
🧠Long-Term Vision
- Continuously ship high-quality, open-source projects
- Share devlogs, case studies, and technical writeups through this site
- Turn this portfolio into a launchpad for ideas, not just a resume. Hence the blog!
Stay tuned — big things are coming.
