My Portfolio

This site—Next.js, Contentlayer, Redis view counts, and an AI-native delivery loop: Cursor agents, RAG over my CV for the Experience page, Figma MCP for pixel-faithful UI, and Google Stitch to draft layouts before refinement in Figma.

Analytics

Technical implementation

  • Design fidelity

    Layouts and components traced from Figma via MCP-driven workflows, then tuned in code for accessibility and performance.

  • Content pipeline

    Project pages authored in MDX with typed frontmatter; build-time generation via Contentlayer.

  • Engagement signals

    Serverless-friendly Redis counters for project views, wired to detail pages without blocking static content where possible.

Description

This portfolio is a refactored Next.js codebase deployed on Vercel: navigation, /projects, /experience, case-study shells, and theming were rebuilt around a Figma-first spec, not an inherited template story. Projects are listed from Contentlayer-backed MDX, and a small REST integration with Upstash Redis powers page view counts on case studies.

Delivery leaned on an AI-native loop grounded in real artifacts: Cursor (including agent-style sessions) for implementation; retrieval over my CV (RAG) so the Experience page tracks what I actually shipped; Figma MCP so frames could be read and mirrored in code instead of approximating layouts; Google Stitch to generate first-pass page ideas that were then refined in Figma before landing here; and Cursor Composer / agent for large, coordinated edits across the repo.

Roadmap

I still iterate here when time allows—more case studies, tighter visuals, and small DX wins on the MDX + deploy pipeline.
