I made my resume site. It wasn’t that deep.

*look at it first: * https://armaansucks.vercel.app

So yeah, I made my resume site.
Not gonna act like it was some spiritual journey or whatever. I just wanted something that didn’t look like the usual “Hi I’m X, aspiring developer, pls hire me” template everyone keeps recycling.

I wanted a site that actually feels like me.
Clean, futuristic, a little intimidating, and not full of useless animations.

The whole thing is basically me experimenting and stacking whatever ideas looked cool until it stopped looking ugly. That’s literally the entire process.


Why I even bothered

Nothing philosophical.
I just needed a place to put my projects so I don’t have to send random Google Drive links like a clown.

Also, resumes look boring as hell.
A site feels better. More control. More personality. And if someone stalks me online, at least they land on something that isn’t trash.

That’s it.


How I built it

I didn’t “design” anything. I don’t even know what people do with Figma or whatever tool they worship. I just opened the editor and kept tweaking until it started matching the vibe in my head.

My rules were simple:

• dark, sharp, readable
• nothing that wastes time
• futuristic but not fake hacker cringe
• everything aligned, everything clean

It’s mostly React + Three.js + some shaders here and there. Basic stuff, nothing insane.
The visuals look complex but it’s actually just me stacking simple components properly.


Stuff that annoyed me while building

• I kept changing tiny spacing values like an idiot
• Some parts looked perfect in my head and then looked like garbage on screen
• I redid colors way too many times
• I accidentally made the site look like government files but honestly it works so I just kept it

Building this wasn’t hard. It was just tedious.
You fix one thing and suddenly ten other things look wrong.
Typical frontend life.


Why I like the final result

It feels like a proper “Armaan” site.
It’s clean, structured, confident, and not pretending to be friendly.
If someone visits it, they know exactly what I’m about:
tech, visuals, GPU stuff, clean design, and actual work to show.

No nonsense.


Closing

That’s pretty much it.
I built a resume site because I wanted one that doesn’t suck.
If it looks cool, good. If it doesn’t, whatever. I’ll keep improving it anyway.
