Hello! I’m excited to start this blog where I’ll be documenting my journey through building a modern, mobile-first portfolio website. This is my first post as I begin working on what will become a showcase of my work and thoughts.
What I’m Building
I’m currently working on a portfolio website using Astro, a modern static site generator that’s perfect for content-focused sites. The project includes:
- Mobile-first design with responsive layouts
- Content collections for blog posts and work samples
- Clean, modern UI without heavy frameworks
- Fast performance thanks to Astro’s static generation
Current Progress
Right now, I’m in the early stages of Milestone 1, focusing on:
- Setting up the basic site structure
- Creating navigation between pages
- Adding placeholder content
- Ensuring everything works on mobile devices
My development workspace - clean and ready for coding!
Technologies I’m Using
Here’s a quick overview of the tech stack:
- Astro - Static site generator
- HTML/CSS/JavaScript - Core web technologies
- Git/GitHub - Version control and collaboration
- Mobile-first CSS - Responsive design approach
What’s Next
In the coming weeks, I’ll be:
- Adding more content and projects
- Implementing interactive features
- Setting up deployment automation
- Refining the design and user experience

Thoughts on Learning
Building with Astro has been a great experience so far. The component-based approach feels somewhat familiar after having worked with MVC in PHP, but the static generation makes for incredibly fast sites. I’m looking forward to exploring more of its features as the project progresses.
Stay tuned for more updates as I build this portfolio! If you’re also learning Astro or web development, feel free to reach out - I’d love to connect.
