Personal website

Overview

The website you are currently visiting is my personal website. It is a place where I can showcase my work and share my learnings and thoughts. It is also a way for me to learn new technologies and experiment with new ideas.

I uploaded a first version of my website in my first year IT studies, using only HTML and CSS. I was not satisfied with the result, so I decided to start over from scratch and use a static website generator. I finally found a solution that suited me: the Astro framework. It is a simple but modular static website generator that attracted me as soon as I discovered it.

I also decided to use Vercel to host my website, as I had heard good things about it and it was free. I combined it with my custom domain name from OVH, which I already had.

Challenges Faced

  • Learn how to use Astro and Vercel.
  • Compile all the information I wanted to share in a clear and concise way.
