Frontend Web Production
Web Portfolio
Designed and built this portfolio site from scratch in Next.js 16, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS; the site itself is a demonstration of modern frontend skills.
Problem
My previous portfolio was built in 2015 and no longer reflected my current skills or career goals. It needed a full rebuild that would serve as both a job-search tool and a code sample. Teams also needed reusable starting points for web projects that enforced consistent layout, typography, and form patterns without heavy framework overhead.
Process
Started with a content audit and competitive analysis of designer/developer portfolios. Planned the information architecture around recruiter and hiring manager mental models. Built iteratively: structure first, then styling, then polish. Audited common UI patterns across multiple projects to identify the highest-leverage templates to build. Implemented each using Bootstrap's grid system with custom CSS overrides for brand flexibility.
Solution
A single-page Next.js portfolio with smooth scroll navigation, project case studies, and a clean design system built on Tailwind CSS. Deployed on Vercel with OpenGraph metadata for LinkedIn sharing. Three templates: a layout framework (Bootstrap + JS), a form pattern library (tables + validation), and a typography system (Bootstrap + FontAwesome icon integration).
Outcome
A fast, accessible, mobile-responsive portfolio that doubles as a code sample for frontend roles. Templates reduced project setup time and enforced visual consistency across multiple web properties.
