What's changed on this site and why.
April 2026 — Made it real
The first version had placeholder content everywhere. This round was about replacing all of it with things that are actually true.
- Rewrote every page with real content — my actual work, my actual books, my actual thoughts
- Added proof links to the work I've shipped — if I say I built something, you can verify it
- Each project now links to its blog post and GitHub repo
- Books link to Goodreads so you can look them up
- The blog post was rewritten to sound like me, not like documentation
- "Say hello" in the footer now goes to LinkedIn — that's where I want conversations to start
April 2026 — Launched the site
I'd been overthinking this for years. This time I just sat down and built it in a weekend.
Why I built it from scratch: The site is supposed to represent how I think and work. Using a template defeats the purpose. Every page, every layout decision, every piece of content — mine.
What's on the site:
- My professional work history with specifics on what I shipped
- Side projects I'm building (ClawInbox, AnimeshAI)
- A blog for writing about what I'm learning
- A bookshelf, a now page, and this changelog
- Dark mode that follows your system preference
What I deliberately skipped:
- No CMS — I don't write often enough to justify one
- No analytics beyond basics — I don't need dashboards, I need to ship
- No extra pages I won't maintain — keeping it lean so I actually keep it updated
What's next
- Detailed pages for each project — what I built, why, what I'd do differently
- More writing, less overthinking
- Connect the real domain
