Hello World

This is the first post on the new site. I built it from scratch using Astro, Tailwind CSS, and MDX — deployed on Cloudflare Pages.

Why rebuild?

Every few years, I get the itch to rebuild my personal site. Not because the old one was broken, but because the tools change, my taste changes, and I want a fresh canvas.

This time around, I wanted something:

• Fast — static where possible, server where needed
• Simple — no unnecessary complexity
• Mine — every line of code, every design choice

The stack

• Astro 5 for the framework — islands architecture, content collections, great DX
• Tailwind CSS v4 for styling — utility-first, no context switching
• MDX for content — markdown with components when needed
• Cloudflare Pages for hosting — edge-fast, free tier is generous

What’s next

I plan to write more here — about engineering, tools, systems, and whatever else I find interesting. There’s also a recipes section, a travel log, and a feeds aggregator in the works.

Stay tuned.
