Building RLODHIYA.DEV

Introduction: A Fun Journey Into My Online Presence

After putting it off for way too long, I finally launched my personal website — rlodhiya.dev!

This project was equal parts fun and functional. I wanted a space that not only reflects who I am as a person and a software engineer, but also gives me a platform to share my projects, ideas, and maybe the occasional rant or two. More than anything, I wanted to build something just for myself—something minimal, fast, and authentically me.

Why I Built This

The motivation was simple:

• Funzies
• Helps me grow my online presence
• Showcase my skills
• Share my work, hobbies, etc
• Offer my expertise and services to those in need

Whether someone stumbles on my résumé, GitHub, or LinkedIn, this site is now a hub that ties it all together.

Tech Stack

I built the site using:

• Next.js – for its speed, flexibility, and SSR goodness
• Tailwind CSS – for clean, utility-first styling that doesn't slow me down
• TypeScript – because why not?

It’s intentionally lightweight and minimal—focused more on clarity and function than flash.

What’s Inside

Right now, the site includes:

• A short bio (hi, I’m Ritwik 👋)
• A résumé page
• Links to my socials and projects
• A blog (this is the first post!)

The blog will be a mix of dev write-ups, thoughts on tech, project breakdowns, and anything else I find interesting enough to share.

What’s Next?

More content!

I’ll be updating the blog as I go—sharing behind-the-scenes notes on projects, things I’m learning, and ideas I want to explore publicly. I’m excited to keep improving the site as my work (and interests) evolve.
