Why a website?

I wanted my own platform to show who I am and what I can do and wanted a place where I can let my artist side of web dev be more free.

Why did you go down the terminal theme?

I think a terminal theme fits pretty well with what I like and it being related to software engineering. Originally I wanted it to look like a “pipboy” from the Fallout universe, then I slowly gravitated towards looking more like a monochrome terminal display.

Whats this website built using?

I used Astro as I believe its the easiest way to setup a static website while still being able to use react like components that are just rendered at build time. Also means the website loads insanely fast since everything is static

How did you make this website?

I wanted to force myself with some limitations for this website, since I believe to drive creative creation is to impose limitation. Some of the rules are:

• Everything (except images) must be a singular color.
• Everything must be the same text size.
• Everything must follow the same padding rules.

What did it take you to make this?

The website has gone through many iterations, some of which I haven’t documented. All iterations and different variants I had made can be found in the gallery above. I think at this point I am happy how it turned out, its a learning journey figuring out what works and what doesn’t with the provided limitations.
