Hello World — Building My Portfolio

July 1, 2026 · 1 min read

Welcome to my new website! This is a placeholder post — replace it with your own writing whenever you're ready.

Why I built this site

Every developer needs a home on the web. I wanted a place to:

  • Showcase the projects I've worked on
  • Share what I'm learning through blog posts
  • Make it easy for people to get in touch

The tech stack

This site is built with:

  1. Next.js — React framework with the App Router
  2. Tailwind CSS — utility-first styling
  3. TypeScript — type safety everywhere
  4. MDX — Markdown with React components for blog posts

Here's a taste of what code blocks look like:

export function greet(name: string): string {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greet("world"));

Writing new posts

Adding a post is as simple as dropping a new .mdx file into the content/blog folder with a bit of frontmatter:

---
title: "My Post Title"
date: "2026-07-01"
description: "A short summary shown in the post list."
---

That's it — the post list, reading time, and individual page are generated automatically.

Tip: You can use blockquotes, bold, italics, links, and any standard Markdown syntax.

Thanks for reading!
