Hello, world
Kicking off the new site with a brief note about why I rebuilt it.
- #meta
This is the first post on the redesigned site.
The previous version was a single static index.html — fine for getting something online, painful for adding anything beyond it. This one is built on Astro, so each post is just a markdown file and the rest of the site stays out of the way.
What changed
- Sticky-sidebar layout inspired by Brittany Chiang
- Categorized tech stack page inspired by Hein Soe
- A stone + amber palette so it doesn’t look like every other dev portfolio
- All the interactive niceties: spotlight cursor, hover-dim cards, scroll-spy, view transitions
What’s next
Real experience entries. Real project case studies. More writing.
