Hello World — Building This Site

Why a Personal Site?
Every developer should have a space they own — not a social media profile, not a portfolio platform, but something they built from scratch.
This site is that space for me.
The Stack
I chose Astro because it fits exactly what a personal site needs:
- Content-first — Markdown for blog posts, zero config
- Performance — Ships zero JavaScript by default
- Simplicity — No client-side framework unless I need one
Styling is done with Tailwind CSS in a brutalist/retro-postmodern aesthetic — monospace fonts, visible borders, terminal-inspired UI.
