Welcome!

I’ve always felt like I should have my own website as a Fullstack Developer. And over the years, I’ve made quite a few.

None of them ever saw the light of day. A few reasons why:

They tried to do too much

The early versions were confused. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say, or how to say it.
I got caught up in tech choices, feature creep, and trying to do everything at once.

The result?

• Too big
• Too complex
• Too slow

They didn’t look very nice

I used to think I had a decent eye for design. I did not.

Minimalism became my fallback — but even that requires taste and restraint, and I hadn’t developed either yet. So things always ended up feeling a bit… underwhelming.

They were just a bit shit

Each version taught me something, but they never quite hit the mark. It was always “almost” what I wanted. But not enough to actually ship.

Perfection is the enemy

Eventually, I realised the problem wasn’t the tech or the design — it was me chasing perfection.

At work, I learned early on that sometimes, done is better than perfect. You ship, you iterate. But in personal projects, I’d never applied that mindset.

So this time, I’m trying something different: just do something.

This site doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to exist.

Why this post exists

I’m a serial procrastinator. I tend to overthink, get lost in ideas, and stall before anything gets finished.

So I made this site to force myself to ship. To break the cycle.

I’m using Astro for it — a nice change of pace from my usual React & Laravel setup. It’s been fun, and more importantly, I’ve actually made something.

Final thoughts

This post is me sticking to the plan: build something, write something, share something.

If you’ve made it this far — cheers for reading. If you’re in the same boat as me, spinning your wheels on a “perfect” idea, here’s my advice:

Just do something.

It might be crap. And that’s fine. You’ll learn, and you’ll have something to build on. And that’s way better than nothing.
