The Challenge
Creating a portfolio that effectively communicates both technical skills and personality is challenging. The site needed to be performant, accessible, and visually appealing while showcasing projects with appropriate technical depth. Additionally, I wanted to implement a component system that would enable easy maintenance and future enhancements without sacrificing design quality.
The Solution
I built a modern, responsive portfolio using Next.js App Router and TypeScript, prioritizing both aesthetics and technical excellence. By leveraging shadcn/ui component library with Tailwind CSS, I implemented a clean design system with light/dark mode support. The site features detailed project pages with comprehensive information about technical implementations, responsive layouts for all device sizes, and optimized performance metrics.
