The portfolio you're looking at right now. A deliberately over-engineered showcase built to prove that speed and beauty aren't mutually exclusive. Custom animations, dark mode, command palette, and more.

The Problem
What Wasn't Working
Most developer portfolios are cookie-cutter templates or boring minimalist pages. Needed something that immediately screams 'this person gives a damn about craft.'
The Solution
How I Fixed It
Designed a custom neo-brutalist design system from scratch. Every component is hand-built — no UI library. Custom animations, dark mode, command palette, and page transitions all built with Framer Motion.
