Static first.
Astro renders the site to static assets. Cloudflare serves those assets from the edge, so there is no always-on origin server to patch, scale, or wake up.
A small site,
treated like a system.
This portfolio is intentionally lightweight because architecture should be proportional to the problem it solves.
One source of truth.
The Ask interaction uses a typed corpus built from the same source files as the case studies. It retrieves and formats published engagement facts without creating new claims.
Structurally lean.
The infrastructure is designed around free tiers. The recurring cost is the domain, approximately $11 per year.
