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.
