Announcing the Launch of My Personal Portfolio: A 2-Year Journey in Creative Web Development
After a lengthy period of starting, pausing, and revisiting my personal projects—something many developers can relate to—I am thrilled to unveil my completed personal website. This project has been a labor of love, spanning over two years, and I’m proud to share the results with the community.

Highlights of the Project
1. Four Procedural Background Generators
Using vanilla Canvas API, I crafted four distinctive animated backgrounds: hologram-like cubes, recursive circuit patterns, psychedelic mandalas, and quantum-inspired node networks. Optimizing their performance remains an ongoing effort, but the visual complexity adds a unique aesthetic to the site.
2. Interactive Terminal Footer
The footer transforms into a mini-command line interface, complete with commands, easter eggs, and even a quirky mini-game featuring a dinosaur crash screen. This feature adds a playful yet functional element to the site.
3. Custom Markdown Rendering
I built a bespoke markdown parser from scratch, integrating KaTeX for mathematical notation and Mermaid for diagrams, ensuring flexibility and performance without relying on third-party plugins.
4. Prioritizing Accessibility
Designing with accessibility at the forefront, the site respects user preferences such as prefers-reduced-motion. I also implemented a “Low Chaos Mode” tailored for sensory-sensitive visitors.
5. Privacy Respect
My site contains no tracking scripts, cookies, or data collection—just a clean and focused user experience.
This project represents a significant milestone in my journey as a developer—completing a deeply
