My personal corner of the web — a place to write, share projects, and document the journey instead of keeping it all in my head.

What it is

A personal website that doubles as a blog and a project showcase. I built it by hand to own the full stack: content, design, and infrastructure. No templates, no themes — just the pieces I actually needed, kept as simple as possible.

Stack

• Astro 6 — SSR on the Vercel edge, with every route server-rendered
• SolidJS — for the small bits of interactivity (theme toggle, engagement widgets)
• Keystatic CMS — content lives in MDX files I edit in the admin UI at /keystatic
• Neon Postgres + Drizzle ORM — for comments and likes on posts
• Arctic — GitHub OAuth for signing in as the site owner
• View Transitions — smooth, lightweight page transitions

Features

• Blog — MDX posts with a table of contents and a comments/likes system backed by the database
• Projects — a curated showcase of things I’ve built
• Minimal design — solid color surfaces, no decorative background patterns, content first

Building this site taught me more about the modern web stack than any tutorial — especially serverless SSR and content management. It’s still a work in progress, and that’s kind of the point.
