my first blog post

hiya and welcome to my portfolio site :P this is my first blog post so i don’t have much to talk about. but if you’d like to check out some of my projects i’ve got two interesting ones.

theres the film archive, which is a really cool collection of public domain films. i started building it a few months ago and at this point i’ve got most of the main work done. this was the first time i’ve ever used aws and it was definitely a learning experience. i use an ec2 instance to host the server and the database, and then have files hosted in an s3 bucket with cloudfront as a cdn. also, i use github actions and a self hosted runner for continuous integration/development. there’s still more work to be done, and as of writing this i only have a few films on the site. i’ve got some plans for a bunch of features as well as a bunch of films to add. if you’re a film nerd like me then you should definitely check it out.

the other project that i have in the works is nico’s jobs. this one im quite proud of. its a job aggregate site which scrapes (currently) over 3000 company job boards directly. it has a job tracker so that users can easily track the status of their applications. currently it is not hosted, so the link is dead for the time being, but i do own the domain :D my plan is to add a bunch of cool features like resume tailoring and automatic applying. it’s looking really promising and im looking forward to getting it hosted.

anyways, thats it for this blog post, thanks for reading <3
