Welcome to my new digital garden. This space is designed to be a reflection of my philosophy: **simplicity is the ultimate sophistication**.

## Why Minimalism?

In a world full of noise, I find peace in clarity. This website is built with:

- **Next.js 15**: For bleeding-edge performance.
- **Tailwind CSS**: For utility-first styling.
- **MDX**: For rich, interactive content.

## The Detail

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. <Citation id="jobs" index={1} />

### Code Snippet Test

Here is how I configured the font:

```typescript
const inter = Inter({
  variable: "--font-inter",
  subsets: ["latin"],
  display: "swap",
});
```

## Future Plans

I plan to write about:
1. Software Architecture
2. Design Systems
3. The Zen of Coding
