Building a Portfolio with Cursor IDE

Welcome to my portfolio website.

I chose React with TypeScript, Tailwind, and Next.js as they seem to be the default industry standards, and I already have the experience with them from my course projects. I did the basic React project set up and wrote my About Me as a Markdown file. I am most used to writing using markdown as I already organize my notes in Obsidian. Then I prompted the Cursor IDE Gemini 3 Pro with the following:

please restructure the whole website into an easy to maintain portfolio/blog style website in a documentation style for an aspiring software/machine learning engineer. please make an easy set up for me to write more blog posts as markdown documents. make use of left-hand side bar navigation that can be pulled out

And this reasonbly good-looking web page came out. I am honestly quite happy with it given the limited effort. The whole page is hosted on Vercel. I will be playing around with it further to make it just right right for my taste.

Edit: I did spend a couple of hours after writhing this tinkering with the colorrs and getting text alignment between pages right.
