# readme
i started coding websites with html and css in my early college years,
and my first job was as a web developer assistant at the UCSD Jacobs
School of Engineering. i remember using drupal, javascript, and css to
help set up multiple schools' sites.
for years, most of my design portfolios were hand coded, writing
html/css from scratch and digging through codepen for animations and
interactions. it's been surreal watching the tooling evolve.
i went from hand coded portfolio sites, to framer, and now back to code
again with the help of a polite robot called claude code. following are
more experiments i've made, usually in a sprint of 1-2 days, with the
intention to play and better understand the tools. lots sit in my
drafts, and one accidentally got some good traction. cheers.
