web developmentIn the modern tech landscape, a portfolio is more than a resume; it is a live demonstration of an engineer's ability to ship production-grade software. This post provides a technical breakdown of my recently completed portfolio, which focuses on scalability, SEO-friendly architecture, and a seamless CMS experience. Built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and TanStack Query, the project prioritizes speed. Key highlights include a custom Markdown CMS, dynamic SEO, and a CI/CD pipeline for deployment.
