Portfolio V2

What it is

Portfolio V2 is my personal website.

It started as a simple static page built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
For the second version, I moved it to Astro to make the structure cleaner and easier to expand.

Why I built it

I wanted a personal space on the internet that could hold:

  • my projects;
  • my writing;
  • technical notes;
  • experiments;
  • and things I am learning.

The goal was not to over-engineer the site.
The goal was to keep the visual identity from the first version while making the codebase easier to grow.

Stack

  • Astro
  • Markdown
  • CSS
  • JavaScript

What I learned

This project reminded me that simple websites can still have personality.

The first version was good because it shipped fast.
The second version is better because it gives me a real structure for writing, projects, and future improvements.

Next steps

The next steps are:

  • add more project pages;
  • improve metadata and SEO;
  • write more technical posts;
  • and keep the site lightweight.
