Why I built this

I wanted build a portfolio website from scratch that’s fast, easy to maintain, and... possible for novice.


How I made it

I started with a blank Eleventy site and a few stubborn ideas: simple folder structure, reusable partials, and styling that feels clean but flexible. I wrestled with layouts, path bugs, and CMS rabbit holes — and I used ChatGPT throughout to sanity-check everything when I got stuck or indecisive.


Stack & tools

Eleventy - for the static site magic

Tailwind CSS - (CDN) for utility-first styling with zero build friction

Custom gradients - for some fun buttons

Netlify - for dead-simple deploys

Git & GitHub - for version control

ChatGPT - for pair programming my overthinking brain!
