About me
Software Engineer
Hey there! 👋
My name is Dino Kupinic (as you might have guessed) and I'm a software engineer from Austria. I started programming when I was 11 years old, and I've been doing it ever since.
I enjoy building full-stack applications and working with modern technologies. I'm always looking for new things to learn and improve on. I also enjoy playing video games, listening to music, watching movies/shows or reading books.
Right now I'm working on a few projects, which you can find on my GitHub. Machine Learning and LLMs (Large Language Models) are my current focus, but I'm also working on a few web applications.
In terms of web development, I'm currently working with React, Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS.
I'm also writing blog posts about things I learn and find interesting.
This Website
I built this website because I wanted to have a place where I can showcase my projects, write blog posts and share a little bit about myself on the internet. Building this website was a fun experience, and I learned a lot about web development in the process. Though it's not perfect, I'm happy with the result, and I'm looking forward to improving it in the future.
Future Plans
In the future, I want to rewrite this website in Next.js and use a totally different design. I have a few ideas in mind, but I want to keep them a secret for now! Right now, I'm not sure when that will happen, but I want to do it sometime in 2025/26.
Inspiration
I got inspired by the design of Vercel and Next.js. I wanted to build something similar, but with my own twist. Thanks to shadcn for the awesome component library, which I used as a base for my website. Though I would like to make my own component library in the future!
Tech Stack
While I'm not going to list every single package I used, I want to highlight a few that I found particularly useful. Fun fact: I actually removed a lot of packages that I initially used because I decided against using a server and database. This website is now completely static!
