I've updated the hero section to combine the background image with a professional dark blue gradient overlay (linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(10,20,40,0.75), rgba(20,80,120,0.65))). The white card now sits on top with a stronger shadow (0 25px 60px rgba(0,0,0,0.35)) for better depth against the darker background. This creates a more polished, professional look matching the provided CSS template.
