It listed my skills and projects, but it never really showed &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt; I think or what I&amp;rsquo;m like as a person. As a student, I wanted something that goes beyond a document — something that actually represents me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Honestly? Because I wanted something that felt like &lt;em&gt;mine&lt;/em&gt;. Social platforms are great for networking, but they&amp;rsquo;re rented land — the algorithm decides who sees what, the layout is the same for everyone, and you can&amp;rsquo;t really express yourself beyond a headline and a few bullet points.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
