Hello, World

Welcome to the new site!

For a while my old portfolio felt… like a college dorm room. It worked, but it was cramped, messy, and every time I wanted to add a new project I had to shove another box into the corner. It was time for an upgrade.

Why rebuild (again)?

Two reasons:

1. Flexibility. I wanted a place where I could post not just polished projects but also share jupyter noteboks, code snippets, visualizations and also write blogs.
2. Modern stack. I’d been curious about Astro and wanted to see how it feels to build a site that’s fast, simple to deploy, and friendly to both static and dynamic content.

Stack choices

• Astro -> For its island architecture and smooth content collections. It lets me write blog posts in MDX and render project cards without fighting a huge frontend framework.
• Tailwind CSS -> I used to write custom CSS for everything; now I just sprinkle utility classes and focus on layout and design.
• MDX -> Because plain Markdown is great… until you want to drop in a chart or a custom React component. MDX keeps things flexible.

I also wired up content collections so blog posts and project pages can live alongside their data, which means no more copy-pasting routes or templates.

What you’ll find here

I’ll be using this space to:

• Share write-ups of data science projects (with code, visuals, and even the mistakes I made).
• Post notebooks or EDA walkthroughs that deserve more explanation than a README.
• Occasionally write about tools, workflows, or just what I’m learning.

The goal is to make this site feel more like a working lab notebook than a static resume.

Until then, thanks for stopping by.
If something looks broken, that’s probably just me tinkering again, so please bear with me :)
