About

A bit of background on who I am, what I do, and why I started this blog. Nothing too serious, just a little intro to the person typing away behind the scenes.

Hi there

I'm Tuan Anh Huynh (alias Leo at work), a software engineer from Vietnam. I have a passion for all things Javascript. I enjoy building eCommerce software and stuff related to web dev. I work mainly with Typescript, React, NodeJS, Remix, and TailwindCSS.

This blog serves as a journal for documenting and sharing the insights and knowledge I've gained as a software engineer. Building, writing, and sharing things is a great way for me to solidify my understanding of new concepts and ideas.

I would greatly appreciate any comments and thoughts on my posts .

Tech stack

This blog is hosted on Vercel, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS using Tailwind Nextjs Starter Blog.

A huge thanks to Timothy Lin for the minimal, lightweight, and super easy-to-customize blog starter.

A few major over-engineering-changes from the original repo:

  • Upgrading to React v18, Next v14(Using App router)
  • Adopting Typescript, committing with Conventional Commits
  • Monitoring site with Umami website analytics
  • Theming in dark mode with Github dark dimmed colors for better contrast
  • Making a lot of changes to the UI, new homepage design, adding ProfileCard, CareerTimeline components, adding /snippets, /books, /movies page, etc.
