Hey there! 👋
It’s been a while since I last wrote here, and I must admit that I’ve missed documenting my journey. Life (and code) got a little overwhelming, and I fell off the habit — but I’m back now, and this time I’m holding myself accountable. So here’s to a fresh start! 🌱
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been diving deep into the .NET ecosystem, and it’s been quite a ride. I’ve spent a significant amount of time learning and building with:
- 🧱 Blazor Pages – I love how it enables building rich, interactive web UIs with C# instead of JavaScript.
- 🌐 ASP.NET Core – Working with routing, middleware, dependency injection, and MVC patterns has really helped me understand the backend flow more clearly.
- 🔐 JWT (JSON Web Tokens) – I’ve implemented token-based authentication in a few projects, and it’s really exciting to see secure login systems come to life with proper token validation and authorization.
- 🧩 Plus a mix of REST APIs, Entity Framework, and understanding how everything ties together in a real-world app.
Every day brings something new to learn, and the .NET space, with all its structure and tools, feels like a solid foundation for scalable, secure development. It’s also refreshing to work in C# after spending so much time in JavaScript-land.
🎨 Portfolio Progress
Today, I took a short break from .NET projects and focused on updating and deploying my personal portfolio website. It’s something I’ve been meaning to give more love to, and I finally decided to take action. 😅

It’s still a work-in-progress, but I’m excited to make this my digital home — a space where I can showcase projects, share what I’m learning, and hopefully connect with like-minded folks. I’ll be treating it as a side project, continuously adding new features, refining the UI/UX, and maybe integrating some of the .NET concepts I’ve been learning.
📌 What's Next?
Going forward, I plan to:
- Stay consistent with these dev logs — even if they’re short.
- Experiment more with Blazor Hybrid and possibly MAUI.
- Write a mini-guide on implementing JWT in a real-world app.
- Build smaller .NET-based side projects for practice.
I’m also thinking about open-sourcing parts of my work, so stay tuned if you’re into that sort of thing!
That’s it for today. It feels good to write again and reflect on how far I’ve come. If you’re also learning .NET or working on your portfolio, let’s connect — I’d love to hear what you’re building.
Signing off
