Celebrating the Launch of My Personal Portfolio: A Two-Year Journey into Procedural Generation and Interactive Design

After a prolonged period of starting, pausing, and revisiting personal projects—something many developers can relate to—I am excited to announce that I have finally brought my personal website to life. This achievement marks over two years of persistent effort, culminating in a dynamic platform that showcases not only my work but also my approach to creative coding.

A Portfolio That Goes Beyond the Norm

My website is more than just a showcase; it’s an immersive experience that reflects my development philosophy. Designed as an interactive system, it offers visitors a transparent window into my development process, featuring innovative procedural generators and interactive features.

Highlights and Features

• Four Procedural Background Generators:
  Using pure JavaScript Canvas API (no external libraries), I crafted mesmerizing visual patterns including hologram cubes, recursive circuit trees, psychedelic mandalas, and quantum node networks. Optimizing performance for these real-time generators was a significant technical challenge, and improvements are ongoing.

• Interactive Terminal Footer:
  Beyond aesthetics, the footer functions as a command-line interface, complete with custom commands, hidden Easter eggs, and a playful crash screen that launches a mini dino game—all coded from scratch.

• Custom Markdown Renderer:
  From scratch, I built a robust markdown engine that integrates KaTeX for math expressions and Mermaid for diagrams, providing rich and flexible content rendering.

• Accessibility First:
  Prioritizing inclusive design, the site respects user preferences such as prefers-reduced-motion and offers a “Low Chaos Mode” tailored for sensory-sensitive visitors.

• Privacy Respect:
  The site operates without tracking, cookies, or intrusive analytics—f
