Welcome to My New Blog
I'm excited to start fresh with this new setup! After using Gatsby for a few years, I've migrated to Next.js for faster builds and better developer experience.
What You'll Find Here
This blog is designed around three main areas:
Life Insights
Personal reflections, lessons learned, and thoughts on various topics that interest me.
Data Visualizations
Interactive charts and data stories. Here's a simple example:
import { LineChart, Line, XAxis, YAxis, CartesianGrid, Tooltip, ResponsiveContainer } from 'recharts'
const data = [
{ month: 'Jan', posts: 2 },
{ month: 'Feb', posts: 4 },
{ month: 'Mar', posts: 3 },
{ month: 'Apr', posts: 6 },
]
export default function PostsChart() {
return (
<ResponsiveContainer width="100%" height={300}>
<LineChart data={data}>
<CartesianGrid strokeDasharray="3 3" />
<XAxis dataKey="month" />
<YAxis />
<Tooltip />
<Line type="monotone" dataKey="posts" stroke="#2563eb" strokeWidth={2} />
</LineChart>
</ResponsiveContainer>
)
}
Career Projects
A portfolio showcasing my work, experiments, and learning journey.
The Tech Stack
This blog is built with:
- Next.js 14 - Fast builds and great developer experience
- MDX - Markdown with React components
- Tailwind CSS - Rapid styling
- Recharts - Data visualizations
- Vercel - Free hosting with automatic deployments
What's Next
I'm planning to write regularly about:
- Data analysis projects
- Career insights and lessons
- Technical experiments
- Personal growth and reflections
The goal is to make updating this blog as frictionless as possible, so I can focus on creating content rather than fighting with the tooling.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more posts!
