Rebuilding this site as a platform, not a portfolio
Static Next.js today, writing and work now, a lab and a store later — without a rewrite in between.

The old renzomayer.dev was a business card. It said what I did and stopped there. This version starts smaller in scope and larger in intent: it is a place to publish thinking, show work, and eventually host things that are for sale.
Constraints I gave myself
- Fully static to begin with. No database until something actually needs one.
- All content in typed TypeScript modules, one per locale, so Spanish is additive.
- Every section is a list of typed records, so a lab or store is a new content file plus a route.
- One signal color, two typefaces, hairline rules. Design decisions I do not have to re-litigate.
Growth-focused does not mean loud. It means the surface area can expand without the foundation moving.
