Site Purpose

This site is an online home for my work as a developer and information architect. It is designed as a place to record projects and share ideas.

Rather than functioning as a marketing surface, the site is intended to be read, navigated, and revisited — an evolving site rather than a static portfolio.

Design

The layout is inspired by editorial and manuscript traditions: a central reading column supported by marginal notes, references, and asides.

Design decisions prioritize:

• information architecture over ornament
• legibility over density
• structure as a visible, intentional element

Typography, spacing, and rhythm are treated as part of the interface, not decoration. Marginalia is used to surface context without interrupting the main thread.

Body Typeface: Helvetica Neue
Marginalia Typeface: Caslon

Technology

This site is built with a modern, deliberately minimal stack:

• Next.js (App Router)
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• PostgreSQL and Prisma where persistence is required

The system favors clarity, maintainability, and long-term adaptability over novelty. It includes a custom-built, lightweight admin infrastructure for content management.
