Why this website is the way it is

Let’s start with the obvious: yes, writing a post about why this website is the way it is, is a bit meta. But it’s also the most honest way to explain the decisions without hiding them behind a "because it looks good."

The visual base is near-black monochrome with an accent that shifts per section: lime on home, blue on projects, violet on experience, orange on the personal page, teal on the blog. The idea is that the site feels like one object changing mood, not five different websites stitched together.

The effects — particles, liquid typography, a physics-driven cluttered table — aren’t there to show off a library. Each one answers a concrete question for that section: how to present a headline, how to invite someone to write, how to show scattered memories without turning them into a boring gallery. And each has a reduced or static version for anyone who prefers less motion.

And yes, there’s a playable house hidden at the end of the scroll. It doesn’t pretend to be a full game: it’s a charming little indulgence, the kind of detail that only makes sense on a personal website. If you’ve read this far, you’ve probably already found it — or you’re about to.
