Personal Portfolio Website
Production-Ready Web Application
This project is a personal portfolio website designed and developed to professionally showcase my skills, projects, and career journey. Rather than being a purely visual presentation, the website was built as a production-ready product, adhering to real-world standards of modern web applications.
The primary focus of the project is on user experience, performance, scalable architecture, and applying best practices in Next.js.

- SEO and accessibility best practices
My Role in Project
Designer & Front-End Developer (Next.js / React / TypeScript)
Responsible for UI/UX design, project architecture, front-end implementation, performance optimization, internationalization, and SEO.
Challenges & Focus
Designing a scalable architecture for future growthImplementing internationalization with full RTL and LTR supportMaintaining high performance alongside UI animationsEnsuring SEO and accessibility in SSR/SSG environmentsClearly separating personal and organizational projects without exposing sensitive information
Technical Decisions
Next.js App Router with a hybrid SSR & SSG approach
Chosen to improve SEO, reduce initial load time, and enable both static and dynamic pages based on content requirements.
next-intl for internationalization (i18n)
Selected for its strong support for multilingual routing, locale management, and full compatibility with the App Router. The project structure was designed to make adding new languages low-cost and scalable.
Tailwind CSS as the core design system
Used to maintain UI consistency, reduce unnecessary CSS, and provide precise control over responsive design across all pages.
Framer Motion & AOS with a performance-aware approach
Animations were executed in a controlled and lazy manner to enhance user experience without introducing unnecessary rendering overhead.
Strict ESLint rules and disciplined code structure
Applied to maintain code quality and prevent technical debt in a project intended to evolve over time.
Optimizations & Solutions
- Implemented code splitting and lazy loading for non-critical sections
- Used dynamic imports to reduce the initial bundle size
- Implemented dark and light theme support with system preference detection
- Optimized semantic HTML structure to improve SEO and accessibility
- Clear separation of UI, logic, and content layers for easier maintenance
Trade-offs & Engineering Considerations
- Chose manual UI implementation over ready-made UI libraries to retain full control over design and performance
- Avoided heavy animations in certain sections to prioritize performance and content readability
- Accepted some architectural complexity to ensure long-term scalability and maintainability
Outcome
This project is a practical demonstration of how I approach the design and implementation of a real-world product—one that prioritizes not only visual quality, but also architecture, performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
