Developer Blog

I didn't start out knowing I'd be a developer—I just wanted to make things look cool. My first encounter with HTML and CSS was pure curiosity. I'd tweak colors, move boxes around, and wonder how websites came to life. That curiosity turned into late nights, tutorials, and a growing obsession with building things from scratch.

Over time, I moved from styling static pages to writing JavaScript that made things interactive. I built calculators, chat apps, games—anything that challenged me. Each project taught me something new: how to structure code, how to debug, how to think like a user.

Looking back at my earliest projects vs. now, the growth is wild. And I'm just getting started.

While everyone was diving into frameworks, I stuck with vanilla JavaScript—and I'm glad I did. It taught me how the browser really works. No shortcuts, no magic—just raw logic and DOM manipulation.

I learned how to structure code modularly, handle edge cases, and optimize performance. It gave me confidence to build anything, even without libraries. And now, as I prepare to learn React, I know I'm not just copying patterns—I understand the foundation.

Vanilla JS made me a better developer. Period.

Palettrix started as a simple idea: help designers create beautiful color palettes. But it quickly became a full-blown design system generator with advanced color theory baked in.

The hardest part? Building the harmony engine. I had to dive deep into LAB and HSL color spaces to get accurate relationships. I also added accessibility tools like contrast checkers and color blindness simulators.

Palettrix taught me how to think like a designer and a developer. It's one of my proudest builds.

I've built tools, games, and creative apps—but I'm hungry for more.

I want to keep growing, keep building, and keep sharing. If you've followed my journey so far, thank you. There's so much more to come—and I'm excited to bring you along.
