Hello world: what this site runs on

Update, September 2026: this post describes the site as it was in January 2026. The content has since moved out of Contentful and into the repo. Here's why.

Thanks for stopping by. Before the case studies and deep dives, here's a quick tour of what powers this site.

The site started from Vercel's Next.js and Contentful example. Next.js runs the App Router, with server components and file-based routes, and ISR refreshes pages about every hour, and right away when I publish. Contentful handles content: headless CMS, GraphQL, Rich Text, draft preview, and a CDN for assets. Tailwind CSS covers styling, with the typography plugin for post bodies, and Inter loads through next/font. TypeScript and pnpm keep types honest and installs fast, and mise pins the Node and pnpm versions. Vercel does the deploys.

It's low-maintenance and built for content: I get a friendly editing UI in Contentful, and readers get quick pages, with solid SEO to come.

What's next: more posts, more on the services I offer, analytics, and a few interactive bits. If you're curious how something here works, ask me. And if you have a project in mind, get in touch.
