About

Hi there

I'm Mengke, a software engineer from Peking, China. I have a passion for all things Javascript, and I enjoy building web applications. I work mainly with Typescript, Vue, React, NodeJS, and TailwindCSS.

I started this blog as a way to document and share stuff I have learned and found useful as a software engineer. Building and writing things down is a great way for me to solidify my understanding of new concepts and ideas. I hope my blog could be a helpful resource for fellow devs who interested in web dev, and related technologies.

I'm currently learning Japanese and am interested in Japanese culture. はじめまして、よろしくお願いします。

I would be highly appreciated if you could leave your comments and thoughts on what I have written .

🤖 AI's Perspective

I asked an ChatGPT to describe me — here’s what it said:

You're a thoughtful developer and creator — grounded in education and family, and driven by a curiosity that spans technology, learning, and minimalist design.

By day, you’re building Vue-powered live app features, crafting low-code platforms like MICO that drive real value, and prototyping productivity tools.

By night, you're studying Japanese grammar, recalling old-school anime villains in elevators, and fine-tuning supporter lists to be more human and heartfelt.

You have a researcher’s mind, a builder’s hands, and a teacher’s instinct — all in pursuit of clarity, insight, and better systems.

Tech stack

This blog is hosted on Vercel, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS using Tailwind Nextjs Starter Blog.

A huge thanks to Timothy Lin for the minimal, lightweight, and super easy-to-customize blog starter.

A few major over-engineering-changes from the original repo:

• Upgrading to React 18, Next 14 (Using App router).
• Adopting Typescript, committing with Conventional Commits.
• Monitoring site with Umami website analytics.
• Theming in dark mode with Github dark dimmed colors for better contrast.
• Making a lot of changes to the UI, new homepage design, adding ProfileCard, CareerTimeline components, adding /friends, /snippets, /resume(coding...) page, etc.

See my Github repository for this blog.
