Personal Website Project

Introduction

Welcome to my personal website, a static site showcasing my work and experiences. It's developed using TypeScript and React, and deployed using the gh-pages npm package. Check it out here: mjmoshiri.github.io

Search Function

The unique aspect of this website is the data structures implemented for the search functionality. Information is categorized into four main areas: Skills, Education, Experience, and Projects, each with their subcategories. Each data point is associated with a set of tags. For example, Java is tagged with:

{
  "name": "Java",
  "tags": [
    "java",
    "object oriented",
    "oop",
    "Spring",
    "Spring Boot",
    "Hibernate",
    "JVM",
    "Maven",
    "Gradle",
    "IntelliJ IDEA",
    "Cloud",
    "Concurrency",
    "Web development",
    "Multithreading",
    "Microservices",
    "Cloud computing",
    "API",
    "REST"
  ]
}

Upon initial loading, the data is stored in a map (keyed by name) and a Trie data structure based on tags. This enables efficient O(L) search operations, where L is the length of the search term.

Next Steps

• Clean up static data.
• Extensive frontend work.
• Implement CI pipelines for direct compilation and deployment.
• Optimize by precompiling the Trie and map to avoid regeneration on every page refresh.
• Potentially enhance the search functionality with a Language Learning Model (LLM) like GPT to answer user queries more interactively.

Stay tuned for updates!
