Sometimes in life, you need to tear things down and rebuild them from scratch. That's exactly what I did with this website.
The Breaking Point
My old site had grown stale. It was built with outdated tools, carried technical debt I'd been ignoring for too long, and no longer reflected who I am or what I wanted to share with the world. Every time I looked at it, I felt a disconnect—like wearing clothes that don't fit anymore.
The Rebuild
So I tore it all down. Every line of code, every design decision, everything. I started fresh with modern tools, clean architecture, and a clear vision of what I wanted this space to be.
This isn't just a website rebuild. It's a commitment to sharing more, creating more, and being more intentional about the work I put into the world.
What's Different
- Modern Stack: Built with Next.js 15, React 19, and modern web standards
- Content-First: Focused on writing and sharing stories, not just technical showcases
- Clean Design: Minimal, elegant, and focused on the content
- Personal: This is my space to be authentic and share what matters to me
Moving Forward
This rebuild taught me something important: sometimes you need to let things burn to rise stronger. Whether it's a website, a project, or a phase of life—recognizing when it's time to start fresh is a skill worth cultivating.
Here's to new beginnings and the courage to tear down what no longer serves us.
