Why Astro?

I chose Astro for this portfolio because of its “islands” architecture, which allows me to keep the page size tiny while still using SolidJS for interactive elements when needed.

Key Features

• Mise Integration: Environment and tool management that actually works.
• Content Collections: Fully type-safe projects and blog posts.
• MDX: Writing documentation-style project case studies with embedded Solid components.

// This is an example of a TSX snippet in MDX
const MyComponent = () => {
  return <div>Welcome to my portfolio!</div>;
};
