This site is a personal experiment in bringing game UI aesthetics to the web. The design is heavily inspired by the menu system of Nier: Automata, a 2017 action jRPG by PlatinumGames. I think it's the most elegant interface ever designed for a video game.

Every element of the website such as the muted palette, geometric background, floating sidebar, window-based content panels, rotating diamond bullets; is a reference to that UI. The dark color scheme is my own twist; the original game uses warm beige tones.

My speciality is backend and systems engineering so frontend isn't my strength, thus the design of the website was made with Vercel's v0 using Claude Opus 4.6. It cost about $20 in credits to generate and refine to my taste. Integrations with third-party APIs for the Blog, Projects, Bookmarks, Playlist and Maps are all hand written.
