Hello World

This is the first post on the rebuilt site. I tore down the old SvelteKit build (the particle effects, animated text reveals, and dark theme) and started over with something simpler.

Why the rebuild?

The old site was over-engineered. It had ember particle systems, magnetic buttons, and animated grid layouts. It looked impressive but said nothing. A personal site should be about the content, not the wrapper.

The new stack

• Astro for static site generation
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• Markdown for content
• Cloudflare Pages for hosting

Simple tools, simple output. The “Engineer’s Notebook” theme is warm, readable, and gets out of the way.

What’s next

I’ll be writing about infrastructure, AI systems, and the things I build. Stay tuned.
