hello, world

· meta

this is the first post on my new personal site. i wanted a place that was mine — not a LinkedIn page, not a Notion doc, not a tweet thread.

the design brief was simple: minimal, fast, dark. no sidebar, no clutter, just writing and a little chatbot that knows about me.

what i’m using

  • astro for the site itself, because static-first with islands is perfect here
  • turso for the knowledge base the bot reads from
  • groq running a llama model for near-instant chat responses
  • vercel for hosting, cloudflare for DNS

the code is on GitHub. if you’re curious, read on.

what’s next

more posts, hopefully. i’ll be writing about things i’m building, things i’m reading, and occasional half-formed thoughts.

thanks for stopping by.
