Building this homepage

General Direction

I’ve had a portfolio site I like for a few months now, but I wanted a place to provide information more generally. The answer was to create this site, a general homepage for all my interests and creations regardless of form. I plan to update the site periodically with new projects, writing, and information about what I do.

The main inspirations are the MU/TH/UR computer interface from Alien and the menu design in NieR: Automata. I tried to borrow cues from both while keeping things lightweight, like an early web homepage that still feels like mine.

How it’s built

Like my portfolio, this site uses Astro. Blog posts, interests, and projects are all Markdown files in content collections, so adding entries stays straightforward and I’m not locked into one layout forever. Styling uses Tailwind CSS v4.

My portfolio is still a separate Astro site in this repo. When I deploy, GitHub Actions builds both projects and serves the portfolio at /portfolio on the same domain. The rest of this site deploys to GitHub Pages.
