Welcome to My First Blog -Portfolio

Building a personal portfolio is a rite of passage for any developer. But in 2026, a static page just doesn't cut it anymore. I wanted to build something that truly reflects my skills in AI/ML and modern full-stack development.

This is the story of how I built this space.

The Tech Stack

To ensure maximum performance and a seamless developer experience, I chose a bleeding-edge modern stack:

  • Framework: Next.js 15 (React Server Components)

  • Styling: Tailwind CSS with a custom Glassmorphic Design System

  • Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL)

  • Content: Tiptap Rich Text Editor

  • UI Components: Shadcn/ui & Vaul

Design Philosophy: Glassmorphism

If you look around the site, you'll notice a lot of frosted glass effects, subtle blurs, and organic gradients. This design trend, known as Glassmorphism, creates a sense of depth and hierarchy without feeling heavy.

I used complex Tailwind utility combinations like bg-white/70 backdrop-blur-xl border-white/20 combined with custom lighting shadows to achieve this premium aesthetic. It works beautifully in both Light and Dark modes!

Interactive Elements: The Terminal Drawer

One of my favorite features is the hidden Terminal Drawer. Instead of just linking out to my terminal-based portfolio, I integrated it directly into this site using a floating action button and an iframe drawer.

Go ahead, try clicking the floating terminal icon in the bottom right corner of the screen! It's a full mini-computer right inside the browser.
