   SYED HAMZA KAZMI — PORTFOLIO PROTOTYPE (Stage A, revision 2)
   Art direction: obsidian/volcanic base · neon orange, amber & ember-red
   illumination · warm-white type · optional cyan for small technical data ·
   Apple-like glass cards · one persistent 3D world behind the page.
   No frameworks. Progressive enhancement throughout: everything below reads
   correctly with no JS, no WebGL and no backdrop-filter support.
