Résumé, project record, and writing index in one place. It runs on Astro, builds to static files, and serves from a Cloudflare Worker. The content is sixty work entries in a content collection, each with a real artifact for its image, plus the blog merged with my Substack feed so everything I’ve written is in one list.

The September 2026 rebuild replaced a hero-and-cards home page with one organized around the career. Eight sequential roles read left to right as a rail, with employer marks trimmed to their ink and scaled by density so a narrow ellipse and a dense square carry the same weight. Anything that ran at the same time (teaching, the consultancy) drops into a lane beneath the rail on the same column grid. On a phone the whole thing rotates instead of scrolling.

Everything is styled from the Five-Phase Design System. The site is where the system gets tested, and the failures became rules: phase hue for fills and its -text variant for type, light logo chips in both themes, no kicker above any heading. Those live in a DESIGN.md that any future work on the site, by me or by a model, reads first.

The BG mark in the header is built from the site’s display face, Space Grotesk, with the B drawn in front so it keeps both bowls. One SVG produces the header, the favicon set, the touch icon, and the share card.

The résumé exists twice, as a page and as an ATS-parseable PDF generated from the same source, and a publishOn gate keeps embargoed work out of the build until its date. It replaced a Hugo build on an off-the-shelf theme.
