find me on the internet

Like many of us on GitHub, I've got a personal website that contains some general information about me and my profile as an engineer.

But, as time has gone on, I've found my portfolio & methods of contact splintering into dozens of accounts, urls, and repositories.

Then, it occurred to me that I have a domain under my control, vsanthanam.com. I was able to set up subdomains to forward to my profile or project of choice using {identity} [dot] vsanthanam [dot] com

This way, I could easily send someone to, say, my LinkedIn profile with the following easy to remember url: https://linkedin.vsanthanam.com

I wanted to make a visual representation of my online identities and projects, so I built this this simple React.js app that allows a user to easily find exactly what they're looking for.

check it out at launchpad [dot] vsanthanam [dot] com.
