Welcome to StuBot

Welcome to my portfolio! I'm Stuart, a software engineer specializing in web development, and this site is a showcase of my work and my ongoing exploration of AI-augmented development.

The Concept

StuBot represents the collaboration between human creativity (me, Stuart) and AI augmentation (GitHub Copilot and other AI tools). The name itself reflects this partnership:

Stu - Human expertise, creativity, and decision-making
Bot - AI assistance, rapid prototyping, and intelligent suggestions

Why This Matters

Modern web development is being transformed by AI tools. Rather than replacing developers, these tools are:

Accelerating development - Faster prototyping and implementation
Enhancing quality - Catching errors and suggesting improvements
Expanding possibilities - Tackling more ambitious projects
Improving learning - Real-time feedback and best practices

What You'll Find Here

This portfolio showcases:

Projects - Web applications built with modern technologies
Blog Posts - Thoughts on web development, AI collaboration, and technology
Insights - Lessons learned from building with AI assistance

The Tech Stack

This site itself is built using:

Next.js 16 - Latest React framework with App Router
TypeScript - Type-safe development
Tailwind CSS v4 - Modern utility-first styling
File-based content - Simple, version-controlled content management

Let's Connect

I'm always interested in discussing web development, AI collaboration, and new technologies. Feel free to explore the projects, read the blog, and reach out if you'd like to connect!

This post marks the beginning of documenting my journey in AI-augmented web development.
