This website has been through a bunch of iterations over the years.

• I started it sophomore year as a Github Pages hosted html page with my name and a very large photo of a cat on it.
• I then updated it at the start of junior year, but it was still just HTML/CSS and looked pretty bad.
• I updated it again during the summer before my senior year, to use Tailwind CSS for prettier visuals and to have more relevant HTML pages.

The current iteration of my website was started as part of Hack4Impact's Developer Bootcamp during fall quarter of senior year. It still uses Tailwind, but now it's a NextJS site hosted on Vercel, using a MongoDB database to store my projects and whatnot. For the contact page, it uses EmailJS.

After the bootcamp, I decided I wanted to tailor it to my needs, and have added a bunch of things to make my life easier, like dedicated pages for adding projects and blogs. I also made it so that I can write all of these posts in Markdown, which makes adding new stuff a lot easier.

Ideally, I will be using this website not just as a portfolio, but also as an easy way for me to document my projects and as a repository of information about me that I can point people to (like the Classes I've Taken page, which is a hopefully useful resource for undergrad students at Cal Poly).
