This Website

Overview

Welcome to my personal website, which has seen many iterations since its start in 2017. This site serves as a place to showcase my work, document my personal and professional interests, and share insights and resources with others. Originally a basic WordPress site, it has since evolved into a modern, static site built with markdown, MDX, and React, powered by Docusaurus and hosted (for free!) on Vercel.

Background & Motivation

I started this website in 2017 to showcase my undergraduate engineering projects and share my background and interests with the rest of the world. At the time, I was in my 2nd year of undergrad and utilized CollegeInfoGeek's website creation guide to get the site up and running.

Development

Late 2022

Shortly after learning of Docusaurus from a friend, I decided to migrate my website from a Wordpress site hosted on HostGator to a Docusaurus site hosted (for free!) on Vercel.

Why? While Wordpress + Themify Builder allowed me to create a half decent looking site, it cost $15 per month to host the site and there was a lot to be desired in terms of customization.
