Purpose

As just a glimpse showcased on my Code Projects page, I have gone through different personal websites, from being a single source to having each facet of my life be its own website. Back in the fall of 2023, I decided I wanted to remake a personal website from scratch that I could put all my personal experiences, knowledge, and projects in one place for me to be able to look back on in the future, as well as have more of a professional brand and image all in one place.

Though with that being said, I am currently writing this in May of 2025, and this website is still just a dev project on my computer. I did the initial development for this site while I was in my first semester of school in an effort to make a nice place for people to go a learn about me and my projects when they look me up. This coincided with my dreams and ambitions to get the degree I have dreamed about and, in turn, the career I wanted.

What Changed / Current Site

In 2023, I went back to school for aerospace engineering. Something I will talk about in a future post, which can be found here. With that, I wanted a centralized location where I can archive & showcase all of my projects and endeavors. That way, when people look me up, they can find all of my stuff. This was in an effort to have a good online brand, portfolio, as well as if anyone else happens to stumble across it and they get inspired or learn something, then even better.

I am finally finishing what I set out to do. This site will hold write-ups of all of my programming projects, engineering projects, and general blog posts. The site will be ever-changing, but it will be my life’s work that I can look back on and hopefully inspire others through it.
