Project overview

My personal site is a long running effort to present my work, experience, and writing in a calm, content-first way. After some early prototypes where I tried too hard to make it unique and quirky, I rebuilt the final version with simplicity in mind so the content is fast, easy to read, and simple to maintain. The design was heavily inspired by GatesNotes, the blog of Bill Gates.

What I created

  • A blog website with articles split into four sections, with the homepage showcasing a cherry-picked selection of recommended articles.
  • A highly responsive layout, creating an optimal reading experience for every screen size.
  • A design optimized for speed, accessibility, and low maintenance.

Outcome

The site now acts as a home base for my projects and long form posts, with a clean structure that is easy to extend as new work comes in.
