hello world: starting my blog

why start a blog?

writing helps me think. sharing code, lessons learned, and random tech thoughts feels right.

this portfolio needed something more than just projects. a place for ideas, experiments, and maybe some tutorials.

what to expect

mostly frontend stuff:

• react patterns
• next.js tips
• typescript tricks
• performance optimizations

probably some random thoughts about:

• building side projects
• working remotely
• developer tools

technical setup

this blog is built with:

• next.js 15 - app router, server components
• markdown - simple, fast, version controlled
• syntax highlighting - making code look good

const greet = (name: string) => {
  return `hello, ${name}!`
}
 
console.log(greet('world'))

what's next

got a few posts in mind:

1. optimizing react re-renders
2. building this portfolio
3. my terminal setup

let's see where this goes.
