Hello World — Building My Portfolio with Next.js and AI
April 9, 2026 · 1 min read
Hello World
Welcome to my blog. This is the first post on my new portfolio site — built with Next.js 15, Tailwind CSS, and deployed as a static export on Vercel.
Why I built this
I wanted a place to showcase my projects, document what I learn, and make it easy for potential clients to reach me. Most portfolio templates felt generic, so I designed this one from scratch.
The stack
- Next.js 15 App Router — file-based routing, server components, static export
- Tailwind CSS — utility-first styling with a custom dark/teal color system
- Framer Motion — smooth page transitions and scroll animations
- MDX — this very blog post is written in Markdown with JSX support
What's next
I'll be writing more here about web development, AI engineering, LLM fine-tuning, and the occasional build log. Stay tuned.
