This site, end to end
This portfolio started as a single hand-coded HTML file. A day later it is a production system. Here is the honest tour.
The design: The Instrument
Warm black (#121110), ivory serif type, and a single amber accent — the color of indicator LEDs and lens coatings. The headline rotates through the four things I build machines to do: watch carefully, guard secrets, act responsibly, compute at the edge.
The stack
- Next.js App Router on Vercel, server components by default
- Supabase Postgres behind row-level security — public reads for published content, authenticated writes for administration
- Framer Motion for the entrances, counters, and the rotating headline — every effect respects reduced-motion preferences
- A public
/api/healthendpoint that a scheduled job pings every three days, keeping the database warm with a real query
The security posture
Every table carries explicit row-level-security policies. The contact form uses a honeypot instead of a CAPTCHA. The same fail-safe instinct from my agentic-OS work shaped this site: anonymous visitors can read exactly what is published, and nothing else.
What is next
More engineering notes here — edge AI experiments, post-quantum cryptography walkthroughs, and progress on AETHERIS, a security-first agentic OS layer whose specification is complete and whose kernel is in development.
