From broken workflow to operating system
A workflow needed clearer structure and better software support.
A shipped system made the workflow easier to operate and maintain.
The workflow constraint
I needed a personal site to present my work professionally and give recruiters/clients a single destination for projects, technical background, and contact details.
What changed
Decisions and trade-offs
Content-first structure
The site needed to stay maintainable as new projects and achievements were added.
Decision: Organized project information in structured data objects to separate content from presentation.
Trade-off: Slightly more upfront structure, but much easier long-term updates and consistency.
Responsive-first design
A meaningful portion of traffic would come from mobile devices.
Decision: Designed sections and cards to adapt fluidly across breakpoints from the start.
Trade-off: More layout testing effort, but significantly better cross-device UX.
Constraints, architecture, and proof
Next.js app with React components and TypeScript for type safety, styled with Tailwind CSS. Static assets and project imagery are served from the public directory.
Deployment, security, and maintenance
Static-first rendering strategy with optimized media assets and predictable page structure for stable loading and navigation.
