Welcome to my blog!
The purpose of this website is as a personal portfolio/blog to display both my resume, what I'm working on currently, and the projects I've worked on in the past. The website is made using Flask, Python, and NGINX alongside an HTML, CSS, and JavaScript design made entirely by me (UPDATE 2022: the site now uses Tailwind instead of raw CSS). Big milestones of this website include getting blog posts to work and become stored in a database and changing the website design from a ThemeForest template to my own. When deciding how blog posts would work, I realized early I needed an easy way to create them. I realized that making blog posts via the command line would be difficult when it comes to setting the different variables a blog post requires, and decided a dashboard with input fields for all the things my blog posts would require was best. This dashboard can be logged into and out of, and is also convenient because I can make blog posts from any computer without any server info needed. I redesigned my website and ditched the ThemeForest template because there is something satisfying about knowing what every bit of code in your project means, and being able to claim it as entirely your own. So what is next for this blog? Any projects I work on or updates to the website I might share, or can be seen on my github. Bookmark this site to stay tuned!
