My First Blog Post
I’m reviving my portfolio, and the goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress.
I realized I needed two things in my life right now:
A forcing function to write. I want to maintain a learning journal to document my growth and solidify concepts.
A laboratory. I need a safe place to experiment with AI agents and virtual assistants without the pressure of a production environment.
So, I mentioned that I’m rebooting this site to get my hands dirty with new tech and get back into writing. But what does that actually look like?
I didn’t want this to be just a static resume. I wanted it to be living, breathing, and actually useful. Here is the quick tour of the three main zones I’ve built (so far).
1. The Chatbot (My “Digital Twin”)
This is probably the part I’m most excited about. If you look at Home, you’ll see a chat interface.
That isn’t a customer support script. It’s a custom-built AI that I’ve trained on my own context—my resume, my past projects, and my professional history.
Why I built it:
- To learn: This was my way of diving deep into Agentic RAG systems.
- For you: You can ask it anything (hopefully soon). “What is Krithik’s experience with Python?” or “Tell me about a recent project.” It saves you from digging through a PDF resume and gives you immediate answers.
2. The Resources Page (The “Library”)
I consume a lot of content—articles, videos, docs, and tutorials. Usually, I read them, close the tab, and lose them forever.
The Resources page is my attempt to stop the information leak. It’s a curated list of everything I’m finding valuable right now. If I bookmark it there, it means it’s high-signal stuff that helped me solve a problem or think differently.
If you’re looking for cool content without the noise, check that page out.
3. The Blog (The “Learning Journal”)
And finally, right here—the Blog.
This isn’t going to be a place for polished, ghostwritten thought leadership pieces. This is my “learning journal.” It’s where I document the messy process of engineering. You’ll see posts about:
- Why I chose a specific tech stack (and if I regret it).
- Frontier technology I’m experimenting with.
- Retrospectives on projects.
The Goal:
I’m building this site in public. I hope you poke around, ask the bot some tough questions, and maybe find a useful link in the resources.
Let me know what you think!
