About This Digital Space
This is version 2.0 of my ongoing experiment in building the perfect developer blog/portfolio hybrid. You’re looking at an Astro and Svelte-powered rebuild of what began as a simpler static site (complete with questionable color choices), which itself replaced earlier React/Next.js iterations.
The Evolution
v0.x: React/Next.js over-engineering phase
v1.0: Minimalist Astro site with vertical nav
v2.0: Current iteration (you’re here!)
- Astro for static generation
- Svelte for interactive components
- Dark/light mode that actually works
- More than 1 color
I rebuilt this for three reasons
- To explore Astro’s island architecture
- To force myself to learn Svelte properly
- Because apparently I can’t stop redesigning my portfolio
What Lives Here

The code is available on GitHub if you enjoy seeing how sausage gets made. Expect frequent tweaks - I treat this site as my perpetual side project sandbox.
Here’s a couple of screenshots from v1.0:
