Thinking and preparing about my personal webpage




I have learned a lot of new skills and found a great deal of inspiration in recent studies. Based on my experiences in industrial processes, business model valuation, improvements in programming skills, and my quantitative sense, it's proving complicated to arrange my webpage in a concise way.

Here's a plan for it:

Phase 1: Define Core Message & Audience 

  • Identify my "Brand": What is the single most important message you want visitors to take away? Is it your analytical prowess, your ability to bridge business and tech, or your innovative problem-solving? This will be your guiding principle for conciseness.

  • Target Audience: Who am I trying to reach (recruiters, collaborators, clients)? Tailor my content to their interests.

  • Key Sections: Outline essential sections (e.g., About Me, Projects, Skills, Contact). For "Projects," select only 3-5 most impactful ones that showcase your diverse abilities.

Phase 2: Content Curation & Structuring 

  • Concise Narratives: For each project, write a brief, impactful summary (2-3 sentences) highlighting the problem, your role, and the quantifiable outcome. Use bullet points for key achievements.

  • Skill Showcase: Categorize my skills (e.g., "Quantitative Analysis," "Process Optimization," "Programming Languages"). Use concise lists or even a small, simple chart to visualize proficiency.

  • Visuals First: Plan for compelling, clean visuals (e.g., project screenshots, simple diagrams, a professional headshot) that communicate quickly. Leverage my "aesthetic" sense.

  • Information Hierarchy: Think about the "golden ratio" principle. What's the most important information? Place it prominently.

Phase 3: Technical Implementation & Refinement 

  • R-based Framework: Utilize blogdown or distill with R Markdown. This allows you to embed code and analysis directly, showcasing your programming skills inherently.

  • Minimalist Design: Choose a clean, uncluttered theme. Embrace white space to reduce cognitive load, as you noted in your presentation evaluation.

  • Iterative Review: Regularly review my content for conciseness. Can a sentence be a phrase? Can a paragraph be bullet points? Get feedback from others on clarity and impact.

  • Deployment Plan: Prepare for hosting on GitHub Pages or Netlify.

By focusing on a clear message, curating impactful content, and leveraging R's capabilities with a minimalist design philosophy, I can create a powerful and concise personal webpage.
