Title: Celebrating the Launch of My Personal Web Portfolio Featuring Procedural Generators and Interactive Terminal Interface
Introduction
After a two-year journey filled with trial, error, and persistence, I am excited to announce the completion and launch of my personal website. This project represents a significant milestone in my development journey, transforming a series of initial ideas and prototypes into a fully functional, interactive showcase of my skills and creative process.
A Platform Beyond a Portfolio
This website is more than just a digital resume; it has been crafted as a dynamic reflection of my approach to coding and design. Its core features combine visual artistry, interactivity, and transparency, aiming to give visitors a unique peek into my development workflow and creative explorations.

Key Features and Technical Highlights
- Procedural Background Generators
At the heart of the site are four distinct procedural background generators, crafted purely with the Canvas API—no external libraries involved. These include:
– Hologram Cube Visuals
– Recursive Circuit Trees
– Psychedelic Mandalas
– Quantum Node Networks
Optimizing the performance of these generators was a rigorous challenge, and ongoing improvements aim to enhance their efficiency and visual fidelity.
- Interactive Terminal Footer
The website features a terminal-like footer that is not only visually engaging but also functionally interactive. Users can run commands, uncover hidden easter eggs, and even trigger a playful crash screen featuring a custom-coded dinosaur game.
- Custom Markdown and Math Rendering
Rather than relying on standard Markdown processors, I built a tailored renderer from scratch, integrating KaTeX for math formulas and Mermaid for diagrams, ensuring seamless support for complex technical content.
- Accessibility and Sensory Considerations
Accessibility was a priority throughout the design process. Features include:
– Respect for the
