 ## High-Level Architecture

-This is an Astro-based portfolio and blog site deployed on Cloudflare Pages. The architecture follows a content-driven approach with three distinct layers:
+The website follows a clean separation of concerns with three distinct layers:

-### 1. Content Layer (`src/content/**`)
-Content is managed via Astro's Content Collections API with schema validation defined in `src/content.config.ts`:
+1. **Content Layer** - Markdown/MDX files containing structured content located in `src/content/**`
+2. **Component Layer** - Reusable UI components built with Astro, organized by purpose and functionality
+3. **Layout & Structure Layer** - Page templates that orchestrate component composition across different sections

- **`blog/`** - Blog posts as MDX files
-  - Schema: title, description, pubDate, heroImage (optional), featured (boolean), category, tags
-  - Posts are sorted by pubDate (newest first)
+### Content Structure
+- All content is stored in Markdown/MDX format within the `src/content/**` directory
+- Organized into logical groups:
+  - `sections/*` - About, Experience, Skills, Featured Project
+  - `pages/contact.mdx` - Contact form data
+  - `blog/*.mdx` - Blog posts with structured metadata and frontmatter

- **`sections/`** - Homepage section content (hero, experience, skills, featured-project)
-  - Each section has a custom schema for its specific data needs
-  - Experience entries include systemId, status, dates, company, role, achievements, links
-  - Skills entries include domain, tools, proficiency
+### Component Structure
+The component architecture follows a consistent pattern with different types of components:

- **`pages/`** - Page-specific content (contact form configuration)
-  - Includes form labels, social links, subject options
+**Core Components**: Reusable elements like `BlogCard`, `FormattedDate`, and `Navigation`

-### 2. Component Layer
-Components are organized by purpose:
+**Section Components**: Page-specific sections like `Experience`, `Skills`, and `FeaturedProject`

- **Core UI**: `BlogCard`, `FormattedDate`, `Navigation`, `Footer`, `GridOverlay`
- **Blog-specific**: `BlogFilters`, `ReadingProgress`, `TableOfContents`, `PostNavigation`, `RelatedPosts`
- **Section components**: `Hero`, `Experience`, `Skills`, `FeaturedProject`
+**Layout Components**: Base templates that provide shared styling and structure (e.g., `BaseLayout`, `BlogPost`)

-### 3. Page & Layout Layer
- **Layouts**: `BaseLayout` (shared structure), `BlogPost` (blog template)
- **Routes**: Static routes in `src/pages/` with dynamic blog routes via `[...slug].astro`
+### Component Relationships

-## Data Flow Patterns
+**Blog Section Flow**: The blog page (`src/pages/blog/index.astro`) fetches all blog posts via `getCollection()` and organizes content into three distinct sections:
+- Featured post (first with `featured: true`)
+- Editor's picks (next 3 posts after featured)
+- Latest posts (all posts for filtering)

-### Blog Index (`src/pages/blog/index.astro`)
-1. Fetches all posts via `getCollection('blog')`
-2. Sorts by pubDate (newest first)
-3. Identifies featured post (first with `featured: true` or fallback to latest)
-4. Renders featured hero + filterable grid of all posts
-5. Extracts unique categories for filter UI
+**Content Rendering Pattern**: All components use a consistent data model where properties are passed through props. For example, `BlogCard` receives title, description, pubDate, and heroImage as parameters.

-### Individual Blog Posts (`src/pages/blog/[...slug].astro`)
-1. Uses `getStaticPaths()` to generate all blog post routes
-2. For each post, calculates:
-   - Previous/next posts (by date)
-   - Related posts (matching category or shared tags, limited to 3)
-   - Reading time (based on word count, 200 wpm)
-3. Passes everything to `BlogPost` layout which handles headings, navigation, related posts
-
-### Content Collections
-All content follows the schema validation pattern:
+### Data Flow Architecture
 ```
-MDX file → src/content.config.ts schema → getCollection() → Component props
+Content Files → Astro Content API → Page Components → UI Components → Final Render
 ```

-## Key Technical Patterns
+- **Content Collection**: Configured in `src/content.config.ts` with schema validation for frontmatter
+- **Data Fetching**: Uses Astro's content API to load and transform data from Markdown/MDX files
+- **Component Composition**: Pages assemble components based on fetched data, creating dynamic and responsive layouts

-### Image Handling
- Assets in `src/assets/` are processed by Astro (use relative paths in frontmatter)
- Static files in `public/media/` are served as-is (use absolute paths like `/media/file.mp4`)
- AVIF conversion utility available for optimization
+### Design System Elements
+- **Styling System**: Consistent use of classes like `.animate-on-scroll`, `.stagger-*`, and `.border-white/[0.1]`
+- **Navigation**: Responsive mobile menu with smooth transitions
+- **Accessibility**: Proper ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation support
+- **Performance**: Optimized image loading and lazy rendering (using AVIF/WebP formats)

-### Styling
- Tailwind CSS v4 via Vite plugin
- Custom animation classes: `.animate-on-scroll`, `.slide-up`, `.stagger-*`, `.fade-in`
- Monospace font used for technical labels and metadata
+### Technical Features
+- **AI Integration**: Blog post highlights AI/ML usage in technical workflow
+- **Interactive Elements**: Form dropdowns, modal responses for contact form
+- **Animation System**: Scroll-triggered animations with staggered effects
+- **Responsive Design**: Mobile-first approach with viewport-specific classes and media queries

-### Deployment
- Cloudflare Pages adapter configured in `astro.config.mjs`
- Image service set to "compile" mode
- Platform proxy enabled for development
-
-## Blog Post Creation Workflow
-
-1. Create `.mdx` file in `src/content/blog/` (filename becomes URL slug)
-2. Add required frontmatter: title, description, pubDate
-3. Optionally add: heroImage, featured, category, tags
-4. Write content using Markdown/MDX with embedded JSX/HTML
-5. Images can reference `src/assets/` (relative) or `public/media/` (absolute)
-
-## Utility Scripts
-
- **`src/utils/convert-to-avif.js`** - Converts images to AVIF format with quality options
- **`src/utils/git-commit.js`** - Auto-generates commit messages from staged changes
- **`src/utils/notepad.js`** - Quick note-taking utility
+The architecture is highly maintainable with clear separation of content from presentation. The use of Astro's data API and component system enables dynamic content generation while maintaining a consistent visual language throughout the site.
