How this website is made, and the people whose work shaped it.
About this website
This website is my personal portfolio, my place on the internet. It's a digital canvas where I show my skills, projects, and everything I'm passionate about.
My journey began in 2023 when I deployed my first portfolio, which I had copied from a YouTube tutorial. After passing my SEE examination, I built the second version, heavily inspired by Leerob's portfolio. In March 2025 I launched the third version, and the fourth was crafted from the ground up with a strong focus on minimalism.
This is the fifth version, rebuilt in Astro. Pages ship as plain HTML with almost no JavaScript, and all the writing, photos and data live in the repository instead of a CMS.
