My Tiny Corner of the Internet

February 23, 2025 (2w ago)

Let's be honest about portfolios: are they ever actually finished? Probably not. Mine? Definitely a constant work in progress. You tweak one thing, then suddenly you see ten more things to refine. Chasing pixel-perfect perfection online? Total rabbit hole. But you know what? The ongoing journey, the constant tinkering – that’s low-key where the good stuff happens. That's the point.

This site, this little thing I built – it’s more than just a portfolio link in my bio. It's my tiny corner of the internet that I actually own. Not just another profile on someone else's platform, but a crafted space, built pixel by pixel, line of code by line of code, and truly, undeniably mine. In the endless scroll of digital noise, carving out a space that feels deliberately yours? That feels kinda essential.

Think of it like this: online, we're all shouting for attention. Having your own website, your own little plot of digital land? It's like stepping out of the crowd and offering a real handshake. It’s a way to give someone a quick, genuine sense of who you are, even before you've exchanged that first DM or email.

And that's the idea behind the "Stuff" section you might see tucked away here. Beyond the usual projects and skills, it's a little peek behind the curtain. It's a curated collection of favorites – photos grabbed from the web that just hit right, music tracks that have been on repeat lately, articles and reads that have been shaping my thoughts. Little things that add up to a fuller picture. It’s like intentionally leaving your favorite records out when you have guests – a subtle way to say, "Hey, this is me, beyond the bullet points."

I've always been inspired by folks who get this right. People who build websites that feel less like online resumes and more like digital extensions of themselves. Sites that have real personality. They get it: it's about creating a space, not just ticking boxes.

So yeah, this portfolio? Still a WIP. Always evolving. But at its core, it’s my personal corner. A place to share a bit of what I do, a bit of what I dig, and hopefully give you a real, quick vibe of the person behind the code. Consider it that digital "Hey, what's up?" 👋
