Come Kingdom, Come
This website has gone through many different iterations. It came from a need to gain credibility within an industry I so love and appreciate. It also came for an inherent need to create. Yes, I can practice leetcode and memorize the difference between a list and a tuple for that job interview but that really doesn't give me joy. I get joy from creating, and seeing my creations provide utility to humans.
First Post, Who this?
The first couple of versions I made of this portfolio website existed on a heavy React stack. React and Material UI were words planted firmly within my core functional existence. I went ballistic trying to make the perfect responsive website using thousands of YouTube tutorials
Escape the tutorial hell!!
If by some chance you aren't someone trying to see if I am a good fit for your team, and are still a student. Please escape the YouTube tutorial hell. If you need to watch 3 different React tutorials, maybe try reading documentation more often.
Doing > Watching
Every couple of months I would have to redo the website because of the aforementioned tutorial hell and I kept making great glorified hero sections.
Do you AI?!
With GenAI, I could make a new website every week. But where's the love? What of the hugs, the friends and the people we love?
So that wasn't going to cut it. enter MKDocs
MKDocs FTW!
Now I have a perfectly light website that integrates perfectly with my CI/CD pipeline. The future is now. I am excited to share guides and my thoughts.
Happy you're here.
