for a while now and I have never been happier with my personal website.

I've spent far too much time trying to start, build, and perfect my portfolio for years. It seems like every year I spin up a project titles things like portfolio20 and portfolio21 and I never have felt satisfied by my own work.

Content, content, content 👑

One of my biggest hurdles has always been writing content. For whatever reason, trying to lay out content on my own portfolio always proves to be a challenge. Everyone knows that content is king. That is why, I'm focusing on content creation. I've been using Notion for some time and it hit me - why am I not using it as a stopgap and a mechanism to write more freely and easily. Not to mention, it looks badass.

Wow, people are brilliant. This entire experience opened my eyes up to Cloudflare workers and their applications in the modern web. I'll be doing a deeper dive on that soon enough 🙂

And there's more?

Yeah, there is... I'll be moving to this shortly.
