MonokaiJS system diagram

Brief

The previous portfolio said many things at once. MonokaiJS rebuilds it around one idea: show the products, explain the decisions, and make it easy to start a conversation.

System

The interface uses a strict editorial grid, one monospace family, two everyday text sizes, and one display exception. Orange is reserved for signals and identity; black and white carry the content.

Build

Next.js renders the site statically from typed local content. MDX keeps long-form writing close to the code, while the interactive layer stays limited to a subtle hero response.

Outcome

A portfolio that behaves like a thoughtful product: quick to understand, accessible by default, and straightforward to maintain.
