Problem
Most portfolio sites list tools but fail to explain what problems the developer can solve.
← All Projects
A portfolio site designed to present systems thinking, technical writing, and an interactive terminal-driven navigation model.

System
Astro site with a React terminal island, file-backed content collections, and Cloudflare deployment through Keystatic.
Result
A content-driven portfolio that doubles as a case-study site and can be updated through code or CMS.
What it is
The site you’re on right now. A portfolio, blog, and project showcase built from scratch with Astro, managed through Keystatic CMS, and deployed on Cloudflare Pages.
The terminal
The most distinctive feature is the interactive terminal at the top of every page. It’s a fully functional virtual Linux shell with a real filesystem, path resolution, cd, ls, cat, tree, tab completion, command history, and a bunch of hidden easter eggs.
Typing cd ~/projects actually navigates you to the /projects page. The terminal state persists across page navigation via sessionStorage — your command history and output survive the trip. The terminal knows which page you’re on and sets the working directory accordingly.
Tech decisions
Astro — Static site generator with islands architecture. Perfect for a content-heavy site where most pages are static but a few components (the terminal) need client-side interactivity.
Keystatic CMS — Content management that stores everything as files in the GitHub repo. No external database, no vendor lock-in. I can edit content through a web UI at /keystatic or directly in the markdown files.
Cloudflare Pages + Workers — Free hosting with server-side rendering support for the Keystatic API routes. SSL, CDN, and deployment from GitHub push are all handled automatically.
What I learned
The biggest lesson was that CMS choice matters more than you’d think. I went through Decap CMS (didn’t work with Cloudflare), Sanity (too heavy), and finally landed on Keystatic — which stores content as files in the repo. Simple, version-controlled, and it just works.
