Overview
This is my first real personal website where I collect projects, experiments and things I learn over time.
It is not meant to be perfect. The goal was to build something simple, stable and actually usable, and then improve it step by step.
Why I built it
I have wanted a personal website for a long time.
Partly to have a place for projects, but also to understand how everything fits together – from structure and content to deployment and maintenance.
Another important reason was to learn how to use AI tools in a more practical way. Instead of just using chat, I wanted to integrate tools like Codex and ChatGPT into a real workflow inside VS Code.
How it was built
The site is built using Astro with Markdown-based content, and deployed through GitHub and Cloudflare Pages.
The process itself was just as important as the result:
- Planning the structure first
- Keeping everything as simple as possible
- Building step by step
- Deploying early and often
A big part of the project was learning how to combine planning, AI tools and actual implementation without overcomplicating things.
What I learned
A few things stood out during this project:
- Structure matters more than code in the beginning
- Simple solutions are usually better than complex ones
- Deployment and workflow are just as important as the site itself
- AI tools are powerful, but only if you guide them properly
One of the biggest wins was realizing how effective the combination of VS Code, Codex and ChatGPT can be when used with a clear plan.
Another was seeing how smooth the workflow becomes when everything is connected through Git and automatically deployed via Cloudflare.
What’s next
This site will continue to grow over time.
The plan is to:
- Add more projects
- Use the Lab section for experiments and notes
- Try new ideas without overthinking them
- Build small tools, automations and services
The goal is not to build something perfect, but something that evolves.
