01
Build objective
This project had to do two jobs at once: present me as a senior developer with taste and judgment, and remain simple enough to maintain through straightforward edits instead of a bespoke admin workflow.

Scope
- Moved portfolio content into a typed source-of-truth file
- Built with static export and GitHub-hosted deployment in mind
- Optimized for future editing without a CMS dependency
Overview
A maintainable Next.js App Router portfolio built for GitHub-hosted deployment, with Tailwind CSS, typed content, static export, and a low-friction update path.
Each case study here is intentionally concise. The goal is to show product judgment, structural thinking, and delivery choices without inflating the narrative.
Challenge
The new site needed to look contemporary and senior-level without becoming a gallery of cards, while also being simple to keep current as projects, links, and positioning evolve.
Outcome
The result is a typed content-driven portfolio with GitHub Actions deployment, custom-domain readiness, and a structure that makes future edits straightforward.

Breakdown
How the project was framed and what it demonstrates.
The strongest work usually says something about how problems were structured, not just what tools were used.
02
Content system
The site is driven by typed content rather than hardcoded page copy. That keeps navigation, homepage sections, case studies, SEO, and contact details aligned and lowers the cost of updating the portfolio as work changes.
03
Deployment posture
The platform is set up for GitHub-hosted deployment with static export and a custom domain. That keeps the operational surface light while still making it easy to ship changes on every push to main.
