Personal portfolio site for Pietro Quintavalle — systems engineer, developer, and homelabber. Built as a single-page Next.js app with a dark, terminal-inspired aesthetic.

Live: deployed via GitHub Pages on every push to main.

What's on it

A boot-sequence intro — the page opens on a black screen running a fake BIOS/POST log (hardware checks, homelab services starting up) before greeting the visitor and revealing the site. Skippable at any time with a click or keypress.
A single-page layout covering skills, homelab infrastructure, desktop specs, personal & client projects, open-source contributions, experience, and education.
An interactive terminal panel (in the "About" section) styled after a real shell session, complete with a neofetch-style system summary.
Hidden terminal commands — type into the terminal prompt:
- mellon — the Doors of Durin
- you shall not pass — the Balrog
- iddqd / idkfa — DOOM cheat codes
- reboot — replays the boot sequence
