kashifnazir.com is the first public build of my personal site: Hugo, PaperMod, GitHub Pages, and a lot of iterative work with Claude and Codex to get it from generic template to something that actually feels like mine.
The project is really two things at once: a live site and a record of how it was built. That includes the design direction, the circuit motif, the decision to launch on GitHub Pages first, and the AWS architecture I deliberately chose not to build yet.
If you want the full write-up, start with these two articles:
- Building This Site covers the actual build, the two-AI workflow, and how the visual direction came together.
- The Architecture Unbuilt covers the hosting decision, why GitHub Pages won for launch, and the AWS stack planned for a later migration.
This page stays here as the project anchor for the site itself. Future projects will sit alongside it as the portfolio grows.
