Curated Notes

Longer reflections and build stories need an owned, readable home that can grow beyond a social feed.

I wrote every note and designed and built the site, including its publishing workflow and reading experience.

Each note is a full article with a serif reading face, a comfortable line length, a reading-progress bar, and links to the previous and next notes. A featured row leads the home page, and every note sits in a grid filterable by Projects, Data & AI, Business, and Personal.

• A dark, gold-accented editorial system: Syne for display, DM Sans for interface text, Lora for reading.
• MDX publishing: writing a note is the whole workflow, and every edit is versioned.
• Pre-built article pages that load quickly and are easy for search engines to read.
• Project notes link directly to the product or case study they describe.

Content stays separate from presentation, and every page is built ahead of time.

Curated Notes holds 19 published notes. Sixteen professional and technical ones are reproduced word for word in this portfolio's Writing section, using the same reader layout.

Three personal notes on faith, kindness, and fitness remain on the original site rather than in this portfolio.

Good publishing infrastructure gets out of the reader's way and keeps the writing easy to maintain.
