Building My Personal Website with Astro
Why I chose Astro, React, and Tailwind CSS to build a modern, blazing-fast portfolio site — and what I learned along the way.
Why I Built This Site
Every digital professional needs a home on the web. After years of working with various platforms, I decided to build something from scratch — something that truly represents who I am and what I do.
The Tech Stack
I chose Astro as the foundation because it ships zero JavaScript by default. For a portfolio site, that means:
- Lightning-fast page loads — static HTML with selective hydration
- Perfect SEO — fully rendered HTML, not a client-side SPA
- React where I need it — interactive components like animations still use React
Combined with Tailwind CSS for styling and Framer Motion for animations, this stack delivers an agency-quality experience with minimal overhead.
What’s Next
I’ll be sharing more thoughts on marketing, technology, and building digital products. Stay tuned.
