New look, clearer story
I rebuilt the entire landing page so it leads with the essentials: a tighter hero introduction, quick access to my resume, and consistent navigation that highlights each section as you scroll. Cards now use a light/dark friendly palette, the awards section made it onto the page, and works-in-progress finally sit alongside shipped projects.
Content updates across the board
- Skills now focus on the systems work I do most (C, low-level programming, tooling) with animated progress bars for a quick read.
- Experience & education reflect my current internship at Bibliomation and the latest program info from UConn.
- Contact swaps the phone number for email + portfolio links to keep outreach simpler.
- Footer automatically updates the year so it stays current without manual edits.
Blog + learning log
The site now includes a blog at /blog/ with:
- A "What I'm Learning Now" feed to journal ongoing experiments.
- Full posts for ReMem and the Arena library, including rich code snippets.
- Cards that link directly to each article and highlight publication dates.
Markdown-driven workflow
To avoid hand-writing HTML, I built a tiny generator that turns Markdown into blog pages and updates the index automatically. Adding a post is now:
python3 blog/build.pyThe script parses front matter, renders headings, lists, inline code, fenced code blocks, and links, then drops the output into the existing layout.
Reusable components & polish
- Shared styles live in
style.css, including dark-mode aware code blocks and reusable animation delays. script.jshandles smooth scrolling, hero fade-ins, scroll spy navigation, and skill bar animations.- The resume CTA and blog CTA share a common button style so calls-to-action feel cohesive.
What's next
A few ideas on deck: generated RSS feeds, featured project spotlights with screenshots, and a public changelog so updates like this one are easier to track. For now, the site finally reflects what I'm building day to day - and keeps growing without fighting the tooling.
