A personal website built to showcase projects, document ideas, and create a digital presence outside the noise of social media. Designed and deployed with Webflow, custom domain, and original content strategy.
Social media was sold to us as connection, but in practice it constitutes the opposite. Predatory algorithms reward outrage and noise, while parasocialness and echo chambers drown out meaningful connections. Millions are left addicted, isolated, and lonely.
This online noise seeps into the job market as well. Automated applicants flood career listings, while a frozen economy makes opportunities scarce. Standing out feels impossible when the social and professional sphere are both clogged with endless competition and algorithmic gatekeeping.
The result is a generation stuck in digital quicksand, unable to connect meaningfully, stand out professionally, and escape the systems that profit from their struggle.
My response to these problems is intentionally simple: a personal website. Unlike social media a website is immune to algorithmic control. It functions as both a portfolio and a place to present skills and ideas without being buried under an overabundance of information. In a saturated job market, it is a way to stand out, not by begging for attention in someone else’s system, but by building your own.
Making this site was not effortless. Platforms are designed to dominate digital life, so resistance required experimentation. Along the way I hit technical walls, design flaws, and structural limits. My solution was pragmatic: start with a template, then break it apart, rework it, and shape it into something that fits my vision; this included setting up a custom domain, restructuring page layouts for responsive design across desktop and mobile, and refining typography and spacing to improve readability.
This process sharpened my technical execution (template modification, responsive design, content strategy) while also testing persistence through troubleshooting. More importantly, it reflects a deeper critique: questioning defaults and reshaping digital tools to serve personal goals.
The outcome is visible here: if you are reading this, then I have already succeeded in cutting through the static. This site stands as both my portfolio and my experiment, a model for reclaiming digital space and building outside systems that are designed to limit individuality.
