Overview
I looked at the old version of this site and cringed. It had a component that pulled every GitHub repo live through the API and dumped the list on the page. To me, it sucked. I knew I could do so much better.
That old page worked. But it read like a demo of “I can call an API.” It did not read like an introduction to my work.
So I rebuilt it from scratch on Astro.
How it works
Astro ships pages with zero JavaScript by default. A page only loads a
script if one of its components truly needs it. I write each project
as a plain MDX file. To add a new project, I drop one file into
src/content/projects/. No code changes needed.
I used AI to build it
I used Claude and Kimi to build most of this site. That was the point, not a side effect. I wanted to bring AI into my own workflow and see what that actually looks like in practice, not just in theory. It changed how I plan features, how I catch my own bugs, and how much I can ship solo. I am not going to pretend a human typed every line by hand. That would be a worse story, and also a lie.
Result
The new site is lighter and faster. It gives me real room to write about each project, instead of just listing it in a grid.
