Engineering system
Portfolio & CMS
High-performance monochrome portfolio system with custom CMS, ISR, and accessible keyboard navigation.
Problem
01 // SECTIONModern developer portfolios frequently overload visitors with heavy 3D animations, lagging scrolljacks, and inaccessible layouts that distract from actual software engineering proof.
The goal was to design an editorial, typography-first monochrome portfolio system with 100/100 Lighthouse metrics and complete keyboard accessibility.
Role and Constraints
02 // SECTIONDesigned and developed the entire application from tokens to database mappers.
Approach & Architecture
03 // SECTIONImplemented using Next.js 16 App Router Server Components, strict CSS custom properties tokens, and a clean mapper architecture separating DB documents from UI contracts.
Highlights
04 // SECTIONFull keyboard navigation: ⌘K command menu, focus trapping, skip links, and polite live regions. Sub-100ms first paint with zero WebGL/3D overhead. Self-hosted Geist typography with strict monochrome color ramp.
Outcome & Status
05 // SECTIONFlawless 100/100 Lighthouse scores in Accessibility and SEO, with instantaneous page loads.
