Welcome to My Portfolio

An introduction to my new portfolio site built with Next.js 16 and Convex.

Welcome to My Portfolio

Hey there! I'm excited to launch my new portfolio site. This is where I'll be sharing my thoughts on tech, updates on projects I'm building, and random things I find interesting.

What I'm Working On

Currently, I'm focused on building Virtoura - a SaaS platform for creating immersive virtual tours. It's been an incredible journey learning about:

  • Real-time 3D rendering
  • User experience design for spatial interfaces
  • Building scalable backend systems

The Tech Stack

This portfolio is built with some exciting technologies:

  • Next.js 16 with the new cacheComponents feature
  • Convex for real-time data and backend functions
  • Tailwind CSS for styling
  • MDX for blog posts (like this one!)
// Example of using Convex with Next.js
const posts = await preloadQuery(api.xPosts.list, { limit: 20 })

What's Next

I'll be posting more about:

  1. Technical deep-dives into projects I'm building
  2. Thoughts on product development
  3. Random discoveries and learnings

Stay tuned!
