Welcome to my portfolio!

In the summer of 2025, I set out to learn React—and after completing an excellent course through Scrimba (huge thanks to Bob Zroll for making it so approachable!), I was eager to apply what I’d learned in a more practical, real-world context as a Web Designer and Front-End Developer.

Rather than starting from scratch, I chose to rebuild my old portfolio site, which was originally built with Bootstrap (still a great tool, by the way). This time, I opted to use Astro, and I’m glad I did.

Astro allowed me to apply core React concepts—like components and state—while also expanding my knowledge of static site generation and modern web performance. I even pushed myself to implement a blog for the first time, which is why you’re reading this now.

As I continue my job search, I’ll be making ongoing improvements to this site—so if you’re a recruiter, keep an eye out!

Thanks again for stopping by.

Cheers,

Paul
