## 🧠 Portfolio Brain: build in the open

This vault documents **every decision** behind Mohd Saif's portfolio, from day one to launch. It is a real Obsidian vault *and* the source of the graph view rendered on the site (see [Knowledge Graph](/brain/knowledge-graph/)).

> The site's north star: [North Star - Site as Proof](/brain/north-star-site-as-proof/), the site itself is proof of product-engineering skill.
