Portfolio v1

The previous version of this site. An evidence-backed resume with five deep project chapters, composed as an original system instead of a card grid.

The resume is the spine and five project chapters are the proof. The hero scans a rough study into the shipped mobile screen, the desktop resume is a four-state sticky apparatus, and each chapter pairs desktop and mobile captures with the decisions behind them.

An independent review scored it 94 of 100 before it went live. This site replaces it as the front door; v1 stays up as a record.

Stack

  • Vite, React 18, TypeScript
  • GSAP, Lenis
  • Self-hosted Familjen Grotesk and Azeret Mono
  • A static build on Warpyard over SSH

Decisions

  1. No templated archetypes, no randomized layout recipes, no project-card grid. The system was composed from the actual content and the hiring objective.
  2. Its own identity, nothing inherited from the studio brand.
  3. A separate, non-writing reviewer judged the finished site; the builder resolved the findings.

Lesson

  1. Generic generated "future product" objects read as filler even when rendered cleanly. The hero was rebuilt from real artifacts, systems, and surfaces.
