Portfolio Website

This site. Editorial field-notebook redesign: warm paper canvas and oxidized-red pencil mark, indexed sections, live Singapore clock, both light and dark tuned independently. Built with Next.js 16 + Tailwind v4; motion respects prefers-reduced-motion; a11y basics from skip-link to keyboard lightbox.

Notes

A deliberate departure from the standard developer-portfolio aesthetic. I wanted the site to read like a field notebook - paper-warm, restrained, with one accent color carrying all the emphasis. Both light and dark were tuned independently rather than inverted; the dark mode uses lighter font weights because the same type reads heavier on a dark canvas. Every animation respects prefers-reduced-motion, the lightbox is keyboard-navigable, and there's a skip-link in the right place. The whole thing should feel quiet - that's the design goal.
