Hello, Internet

This site isn’t a portfolio. It’s not a resume dressed up in dark mode. It’s closer to a notebook — one that happens to be public.

I’ve been building things on the internet for a while now. Small tools, half-finished experiments, projects I’m proud of and ones I’d rather forget. But none of them ever had a home. They floated around in GitHub repos and Notion databases, disconnected from each other and from any larger story. So I built this.

What Anshverse actually is

It’s a living record. A place where I can track what I’m reading, what I’m building, what I’m thinking about — and let anyone who’s curious see the same. There’s no engagement metrics here, no comments section, no newsletter popup. Just the work, the notes, and the honest mess of learning in public.

The tech stack is intentionally simple: Astro for static generation, Notion as a CMS, and a design system I can actually maintain. No component libraries. No unnecessary abstractions. Every piece exists because I needed it.

Why build from scratch?

I could have used a template. I almost did, twice. But templates encode someone else’s priorities. I wanted a site that reflects how I think — where books sit next to code, where half-formed ideas get the same respect as shipped projects. That required building it myself.

If you’re reading this, welcome. Poke around. The shelf has what I’m reading. The projects page has what I’m building. And if something here resonates, that’s more than enough.
