Motivation
During my time at Indeed, I was mainly working on Frontend development work. I had the pleasure of working with a skilled UX Engineer who mentored me, and he was always able to answer any questions I had about Frontend technologies.
Thanks to him, I gained an interest in Frontend development and decided to apply my skills by developing my personal website. I decided to use this opportunity to get hands on with NextJS, a popular React Framework that has gained much traction.
My goal is to make this website highly personalized, where I develop all UI components myself from scratch, try out new interesting Frontend technologies, and document my thoughts 😉
Inspiration
The website's design is constantly changing. I do enjoy browsing through other people's website to look out for certain quirks in their design. It could be nifty user experience and features such as animations or page layouts. If I like it, I will try my best to adopt and make my version of it!
Here are some sites that inspired me so far:
Possible Improvements
- Dark/Light mode toggle
- CSS animations
- Implement searching/ sorting functionalities for blog posts
Thanks for reading, and do give these technologies a try if they pique your interest!
