v2.0
Latest
July 20, 2026The Monochrome Redesign
A complete visual and structural overhaul of the portfolio — one consistent black, dark-gray, and light-gray design system, scroll-driven storytelling, and interactive 3D touches across every page.
Design System
- Unified monochrome palette across every page — black, dark gray, and light gray with white accents.
- New pill navigation with avatar, uppercase links, and an animated "Let's Talk" button.
- Full-screen mobile menu with staggered links and quick social access.
- One floating settings button replaces separate theme and chat widgets — theme toggle, WhatsApp, and contact in a single expandable control.
- Footer rebuilt with the complete social set — GitHub, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, and WhatsApp with its real brand icon.
Pages
- Home — GitHub activity with the exact github.com contribution palettes, a three-card repository grid with tilt-on-hover, a monochrome career timeline, and a CTA backed by an interactive grid pattern.
- Services — each service is now a full-width card that stacks over the previous one as you scroll, with detailed descriptions and a direct inquiry form.
- Work — projects, open-source repositories, and certificates mixed into one blur-fade grid; every tile opens a popout with the image on the left and the full story on the right.
- About — a scroll-driven story: a typewriter introduction, chapters that reveal word by word, photo cards between chapters, studies as points in time, and a draggable 3D cloud of every technology I use.
- Blog — full-length articles with real code rendered in animated terminal windows, drifting particle backgrounds, and scroll-triggered reveals.
Motion & Interaction
- GSAP ScrollTrigger powers the service stack, blog reveals, and repository grid entrances.
- Three.js particle scenes and interactive elements woven through the blog and tech stack.
- magicui components throughout — blur-fade, bento grid, text reveal, 3D flip text, icon cloud, terminal, interactive grid, and the interactive hover button.
- All motion respects the reduced-motion system preference.
Fixes & Quality
- Resolved hydration mismatches across the site, including render-time randomness and stale-bundle issues.
- Fixed a sequencing bug in the terminal component that could leave code blocks invisible.
- Stable layout for the contribution calendar — no shift while data loads.
- Faster, brighter page backgrounds with the texture clearly visible.
