How do you recommend connecting my Hashnode blog to a personal portfolio? Am I able to host both under the same domain or should I have them on separate ones with links going bother ways?

If your goal is to prove your Python expertise to recruiters and employers, then I'd say yes, go ahead!

I also enjoy the way you write tech articles: they are clear and visually compelling. If you think that these skills will help you get a dream job - go ahead (2)!

I think the domain doesn't matter as long as you don't want to make your blog a part of your personal brand. If blogging is like a hobby to you, then leave it as it is. You want to build a strong brand around your name, meaning investing a lot of time, building a community, giving tech talks, etc. than you need a personal domain to make you blog look professional :)

Thank you so much for the advice and the compliment on my articles. I put a lot of effort into them.

I view blogging as a way to document my journey while also helping people learn along the way. I hope to eventually build a brand around my name.
