Hello World

personal web development

Welcome to my blog! I’m Liam, and this is the very first post on my new personal website.

Why I built this site

I wanted a space to share my thoughts on software engineering, document things I’ve learned, and showcase projects I’m working on. After exploring various options, I settled on Astro for its excellent content-focused approach and blazing-fast performance.

What to expect

Here are some topics I plan to write about:

  • Web development — frameworks, tools, and best practices
  • Software engineering — architecture, design patterns, and lessons learned
  • Projects — deep dives into things I’m building
  • Learning notes — summaries from courses, books, and experiments

The tech stack

This site is built with:

  • Astro for static site generation
  • Tailwind CSS for styling
  • GitHub Pages for hosting
  • Markdown for writing content
// Here's a simple example of an Astro component

const greeting = "Hello, World!";

<h1>{greeting}</h1>

Stay tuned for more posts. Thanks for stopping by!
