This PR refactors the portfolio's design system and Experience section: new color tokens (terracotta, ink-deep, paper variants) and shadow presets are added to Tailwind and CSS; the SectionDivider component and paper-grain utility are removed; and the Experience component is refactored with Framer Motion viewport animations, grid-based point lists, and a right-column tech stack layout.

Motion whispers through grids, no dividers to lose,

73-77: 💤 Low value

Consider using CSS variables for shadow values.

The shadow definitions use hardcoded rgba values, while the color tokens use CSS variables. This makes the shadows less flexible for theming. You could define --shadow-card-color and --shadow-card-hover-color in globals.css for consistency, though the current approach works fine.

in the tailwind config's boxShadow entries (boxShadow.card and
boxShadow["card-hover"]) with CSS variables (e.g. var(--shadow-card-color) and
var(--shadow-card-hover-color)) and update the shadow strings to use those
variables so themes can override them; also add corresponding CSS variable
definitions (e.g. --shadow-card-color, --shadow-card-hover-color) in your global
stylesheet so the values can be themed consistently across the app.
