# PRD: Professional Portfolio & Technical Showcase
|
|
|
|
## 1\. Project Overview
|
|
|
|
A centralized, modern web presence that serves as a professional hub. The site must balance the authority of a **Senior Solutions Architect** with the creative technicality of a **Full-Stack Developer**, all while maintaining an aesthetic rooted in the North County San Diego coastline.
|
|
|
|
## 2\. Visual Identity & Brand
|
|
|
|
- **Color Palette:** "SoCal Seaside"
|
|
|
|
- **Primary:** Deep Ocean Blues and Slate (for text and structural elements).
|
|
|
|
- **Secondary:** Coastal Teals and Sky Blues (for accents and hover states).
|
|
|
|
- **Highlights:** Warm Gold and Soft Sand (for CTAs, borders, or highlights—mimicking a sunset over the Pacific).
|
|
|
|
- **Design Language:** Clean, minimalist, and high-contrast. Use glassmorphism (frosted glass) effects for cards to keep the feeling "light" and "airy."
|
|
|
|
- **Dynamic Elements:** \* Subtle animated background (e.g., gentle CSS waves or a particle system representing "data flow").
|
|
|
|
- Interactive "Skill Clouds" or a dynamic terminal-style window.
|
|
|
