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!
