Welcome to My Blog
Welcome to my new blog! After years of building projects and learning new technologies, I've finally decided to share my thoughts, experiences, and insights with the broader developer community.
This first post will introduce you to what you can expect from this blog and demonstrate the authoring system I've built for creating posts.
What I'll Write About
My blog posts will cover a wide range of topics that interest me as a software engineer and game developer. Expect deep dives into technical subjects, reflections on my development journey, and practical guides for solving real-world problems.
I believe in sharing knowledge freely and helping others learn from both my successes and mistakes. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, I hope you'll find something valuable here.
Blog Categories
- Technical Deep Dives: Detailed explorations of specific technologies, frameworks, and development patterns I use in my work.
- Game Development: Insights from my journey creating games, including design decisions, technical challenges, and lessons learned.
- Career & Learning: Reflections on professional growth, continuous learning, and navigating the tech industry.
- Project Showcases: Behind-the-scenes looks at my personal and professional projects, explaining the 'why' and 'how' behind them.
The Authoring System
One of my goals for this blog was to make writing posts as seamless as possible. Instead of dealing with traditional Markdown or a CMS, I built a custom authoring system using React components.
Each blog post is a TypeScript/React component that uses the same section components I created for my project pages. This gives me:
- Type safety: Full TypeScript support ensures I catch errors at compile time.
- Consistency: Posts automatically match the visual style and animations of the rest of my portfolio.
- Flexibility: I can use any React component, embed interactive demos, or create custom layouts.
- Performance: Posts are code-split and lazy-loaded, keeping the initial bundle size small.
What's Next?
I'm excited to start sharing content regularly. My next few posts will cover topics like building this portfolio site with React and TypeScript, implementing smooth animations with Framer Motion, and lessons learned from developing turn-based strategy games.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you'll find the content here useful. Feel free to reach out via the contact page if you have questions or suggestions for future topics!
