I have been interested in putting up my own website for some time, and I’ve finally decided to make it happen. The coronavirus pandemic (I’ve seen it referred to in one news article as “the ongoing global situation”) has offered me more time than expected to work on personal projects, so I have been assembling this site for the last several days. In this post, I briefly discuss my motivations and goals.
My Intent
This site was conceived as a place to share my personal portfolio of projects with friends, colleagues, and potential employers. The resources comprising each project are stored in a repository on GitHub, which this site links to. Eventually, I will create additional pages on this site to showcase my work.
Each of the projects that interest me most, present or future, will have their own showcase pages featuring explanations, diagrams, and image galleries. Projects intended to be broadly useful to others will also have documentation explaining features, specifications, and a roadmap for future development.
This Blog
A primary motivation to create my own site is my interest in writing about technology and engineering. Writing is a fantastic way to organize and reconsider thoughts about a topic, and to gain new insights. I have many exciting projects in the pipeline, almost all of which I intend to write about in this blog.
My posts will focus on engineering problems that are interesting to me; I will strive to make them interesting for any future readers of this blog as well. I want to work from first principles, solve difficult problems, and make things that help people. If all goes to plan, my writings here will chronicle that work.
