I'm not a web designer by trade. I did recently decide to launch a personal website after dragging my feet for many years:

https://www.potluria.com

I only have one blog post, it's effectively a host for my resume and there's a lot of work to do to make it nicer. For one, while I'm trying to convey an aesthetic with the three.js-powered background, it is _not_ performant on some devices. Choosing a SPA architecture in order to keep the background seamless is also biting me in the butt. From an SEO perspective, for example, I can't implement proper OpenGraph metadata on the blog posts since crawlers don't execute JS.

I'm happy though. I'm excited to make it a long-lived shrine.

https://blog.greenpants.net – my actively maintained blog where I write about my thoughts on AI given my Master's, share personal stories, tutorials and more. Lots of drafts coming up soon, like the ideal home server architecture. Hopefully inspirational to some, at the very least the randomized quotes at the top might be.

Let me know :)
