This Website
The site you're on — designed and built as an AI-paired workflow that argues back.
The source isn't public yet. Curious how any of it was built?
What it is
A cinematic, editorial personal site — taken from reference studies to a shipped design system in a fast, opinionated collaboration with an AI coding agent.
The problem
I wanted an owned channel that carries who I am — not a résumé page — and to build it the way I actually work now: taste and judgment steering an AI collaborator from a blank page to a polished, coherent result.
What I built
Next.js App Router + TypeScript, a hand-built design-token system (no UI kit), Motion for calm reveal choreography, and a committed cinematic-dark visual language — every section one idea, attention guided rather than demanded.

How I build now — taste and judgment directing an AI collaborator to a polished, opinionated result, fast.
