How this Site was Built
This portfolio is a single-file HTML application hosted on a custom domain. It was designed
with a structured, enterprise-grade aesthetic, built from scratch with vanilla HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript. No heavy frameworks, no build tools. The goal was to keep the codebase lean, fast,
and fully maintainable without complex tooling.

Infrastructure Overview
The site leverages AWS services for robustness and scalability. Static assets are hosted
on Amazon S3 with CloudFront as the CDN layer, ensuring global low-latency delivery.
Route 53 manages the DNS routing for the root domain and project subdomains.
The contact form integrates with AWS Lambda and Amazon SES for reliable, serverless email delivery.
Each project lives on its own subdomain (e.g., project.yourname.dev),
independently deployed and versioned. This approach enables clean separation of concerns
and allows individual projects to scale without affecting the main portfolio.

Design Philosophy
The design language draws inspiration from enterprise dashboard interfaces, prioritizing
readability and hierarchy over decoration. The color system uses deep navy backgrounds
with measured use of orange, blue, and teal accents to guide attention without distraction.
Every interaction is intentional and restrained.
Future enhancements planned: a CMS integration for frictionless content updates,
analytics via AWS CloudWatch, and a dedicated blog section for longer technical writing.
The architecture was designed from the start to accommodate these additions gracefully.
