    Personal portfolio built in Astro with a JDM-catalog visual direction

    YEAR
    2026
    ROLE
    Design + engineering
    STACK
    Astro · TypeScript · Vanilla CSS

    A personal site I designed and built from scratch. The visual direction pulls from late-90s JDM car brochures — editorial typography, spec tables, photo-forward layouts, model-designation flourishes. Warm in light mode, late-night garage in dark.

    Fully static, deployed to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions. Zero client-side JavaScript except the ~30-line theme toggle. Content lives as Markdown in a content collection so adding case studies doesn’t require touching layout code.
