Rebuilding this site

My old site was a fork of a popular React portfolio template. It did its job while I was a student, but it had drifted: it described me as a web developer, missed my current role, and pulled project cards live from the GitHub API on every visit.

The new version is built differently.

Content first

Everything on the home page now comes from a handful of typed data files and Markdown case studies. Updating the site means editing a list, not a component. Every number on the page is backed by my resume or a public repository.

Static by default

The site is built with Astro and ships almost no JavaScript. The only scripts on the page toggle dark mode and close the mobile menu. Page transitions use the browser’s built-in view transitions.

Case studies over repo cards

Instead of a grid of repositories, each project now has a short case study: the problem, what I built and how it was measured. That format suits applied AI work, where the evaluation is often more interesting than the model.

What’s next

I’ll use this blog for short posts on AI agents, evaluation and doing a PhD alongside industry work. You can follow along through the RSS feed.
