What is this?

This is my personal website that I built as a rising junior in 2017. At the time, I was a fresh web developer. I was extremely interested in pursuing a career in UI/UX design and development, and I thought that it would extremely fitting to have my own custom-built website.

I scaffolded the site using Ruby on Rails and jQuery. Everything else was custom built and designed by me, including:

  • Fun homepage interactions/animations
  • Project tag system
  • Project media system (playable videos, images, etc)
  • Mobile responsiveness

What's wrong with it?

I have since deprecated this website, since I no longer believe that it accurately reflects my experiences as a developer. My frontend skills have matured greatly in terms of both tooling and design ideologies.

Additionally, I have learned that custom solutions do not mean everything. Devpost has been a wonderful platform for showcasing my projects. It is great in terms of maintainability and design. However, if you are interested in seeing the old website anyway, please follow the link :)

Thanks for reading.
