First Portfolio Domain
The earliest public portfolio footprint: a GitHub Pages repository and custom-domain handoff that preceded this full Next.js build.
AFFAN / BEYOND THE PROJECT FILES
I like problems with information and no obvious first move.
I work across product engineering, scientific computing, algorithms, and the visual systems that make complicated work easier to understand.
Vantage taught me to think about trust and useful action. gRNAlytics made uncertainty part of the interface. The smaller projects show the path between them.
- 2025Early systems
Small Python experiments turned object-oriented concepts, validation, and persistence into practical building blocks.
- 2026Algorithms
A growing Python solutions archive made strict constraints and small implementation choices visible.
- 2026Product engineering
Vantage expanded the problem from code in isolation to discovery, trust, data enrichment, and team delivery.
- 2026Scientific computing
gRNAlytics brought the same search for structure to BLAST output, guide comparison, and uncertainty.
