What It Is

My personal corner of the internet. A blog, book review archive, and project showcase all in one place.

Technical Details

  • Built with Astro for fast static generation
  • Markdown-based content — write posts in a text editor, not a CMS
  • Zero JavaScript shipped to the client (except the mobile nav toggle)
  • Bold dark design with gradient accents

Why Astro

I wanted something that ships fast HTML with minimal client-side JS. Astro’s content-first philosophy fits perfectly for a blog — no hydration overhead, just pages.
