Welcome to my digital garden

Welcome to my new personal website. I built this space to share what I’m working on, things I’m learning, and occasional thoughts on software development.

Why a static site?

I chose to build this using Astro. It allows me to write posts like this one in plain Markdown, directly from Obsidian. There’s no database to manage and no complex CMS—just simple, version-controlled text files.

This approach gives me:

1. Complete ownership of my content
2. Blazing fast performance (zero JavaScript shipped by default)
3. Frictionless publishing (just git push and GitHub Actions handles the rest)

Code snippet example

Here’s a quick look at how the font pairing looks in a code block:

function greet(name) {
  const time = new Date().getHours();
  const greeting = time < 12 ? 'Good morning' : 'Hello';
  
  return `${greeting}, ${name}! Welcome to the site.`;
}

console.log(greet('Visitor'));

What’s next?

I’ll be adding more projects to my portfolio and writing about my experiences building them. Check out the Projects page to see what I’ve been up to lately.

Thanks for stopping by!
