#Why this portfolio exists
The goal was to make a personal site that feels closer to a focused engineering publication than a default portfolio template. It needed room for projects, proof of practice, contact, and writing without losing the dark visual identity.
#Design principles
The system is intentionally minimal: near-black surfaces, sharp typography, thin borders, and a lot of spacing. Motion stays quiet so the work stays readable.
#Keep the interface direct
The homepage should explain who I am quickly, then move people into the work. Every section has a job, and the layout should make scanning easy on desktop and mobile.
#Make writing feel native
Blog posts live in the same visual world as the portfolio. The markdown workflow means I can write in Obsidian, push to GitHub, and let the site rebuild automatically.
#Code example
export const workflow = [
"Obsidian",
"Markdown",
"GitHub",
"Vercel",
"euel.dev/blog",
];#What comes next
The blog becomes a place to document projects, lessons from work, and small technical notes that are useful enough to keep.
