Every project needs a place to land. This is mine.

The site is built with Next.js (static export), styled with Tailwind CSS, deployed to Cloudflare Pages, and auto-publishes on every push to GitHub. The email infrastructure runs on Google Workspace. The whole stack was stood up in a single session on April 12, 2026 — domain registration to live deployment, including a wrong turn into a Cloudflare Worker that took an hour to untangle.

The full build log is in the project repository. Including the wrong turns.

The point of documenting it here isn't the technology — it's that building infrastructure for your own work is a different kind of motivation than building it for a client. You make different decisions. You ship faster. And the blockers you hit are more honest about what you actually understand and what you don't.
