RS Website: 10 Years of Evolution, One Living Portfolio

> Overview

This site has been 10 years in the making. Not because it took that long to build—but because it never stops evolving. What started as a simple portfolio became something else. A living archive. A creative lab. A place to document work, share ideas, host playlists, link to social feeds, curate tools, and publish writing. Everything I’m working on. Everything I’m thinking about. In one place. Built in Cursor using Next.js and Notion as the CMS. Over 100 projects. 30+ clients. Blogs, videos, product recs, software tools. Dynamic routing. Theme toggle. Fully responsive. Deployed on Vercel with continuous integration. It’s not finished. It won’t be. That’s the point. The site grows as I do.
