Why this site looks like a Markdown file

[meta](/blog/tags/meta/) · [astro](/blog/tags/astro/)

I wanted a personal site that felt like something I would actually open: a Markdown file in a dark editor, not a card grid with stock gradients.

So this site is built as a pseudo online CV plus a small blog. The resume reads as syntax-highlighted Markdown (visible # headings, **bold** markers, Catppuccin Mocha colours). The blog shares the same chrome, but post bodies are real Markdown — readable prose without the visible markers.

What you will find here

  • A single-page resume: interests, about, experience, education, and skills
  • Notes on cloud work, partner integrations, architecture, and the odd homelab rabbit hole
  • An RSS feed if you prefer to subscribe instead of bookmarking

Stack

Astro for static pages, Content Collections for posts, WebTUI + Catppuccin for the look, GitHub Pages for deploy. Drafts stay out of production builds so I can write in public without shipping unfinished thoughts.

If you are hiring, debugging a weird Atlas + AWS combo, or just want to say hi — the email on the resume still works.
