Purpose: This site serves as a hub for all of my projects, and for my learning of front end development —not just showing code, but thinking about user experience and presentation as an engineer.

Here’s the github!!

The Inception

The idea for this website came from my first year engineering course at Northeastern. We were tasked with making a site for all our projects, there weren’t any strict guidelines on whether to use google sites or other website makers, so I decided to try and make my own.

After some brief digging, I found that if you name a GitHub repo —Insert Username.github.io, you can effectively just chuck all of your code into the repository and have the site update every single time you push new code.

The biggest Issue.

I think the biggest hurdle I overcame (besides learning flex box…) was how I wanted to structure everything on the main homepage. I wanted to something that would be able to pull in prospective employers without being too flashy or too informal.

And I think it’s kind of a hard thing to figure out because there is inherently no right answer. So instead of trying to guess, I did a little research on how others made their own personal websites, and I used my sketchbook to draw out some ideas for how I could put everything in.
