I created the first version of my personal website back in 2016, a time that preceded my present day web development knowledge. Hence, it was a Squarespace buildout. 😅

This week felt like a good time to give it an update.

Fun fact: I don't know React or Next.js. So, this particular project seemed like a great opportunity to learn something new. After a few days learning the basics of Next.js & React (still feeling partial to Vue) and spending what felt like forever to get the logos sorted out for the home page, I'm ready to publish the first version. I hope you like it!

Along with this update, I also hope to begin publishing a few articles from time to time. Not entirely sure what my focus will be just yet, but that's something we can hone in the coming months.

For those interested, here are a few facts about the new site:

• Based on the Spotlight template from TailwindUI
• Next.js v14
• Tailwind v3
• A few inspirations from Flowbite
