Building this site
This site is a living document. It started as a blank Next.js project and a plan collaboratively written with Claude.
The design philosophy is functional minimalism — every element earns its place. System fonts, pure monochrome, 14px type. No decoration for its own sake.
Why build a personal site?
A personal site is the only place on the internet you fully control. Social platforms come and go. A domain is permanent.
