Context

I needed a production-ready portfolio that could be maintained as a real engineering project, not a one-off static site.

What I delivered

  • Implemented a typed content architecture with Astro Content Collections for projects and writing.
  • Built a reusable UI system and responsive page layouts optimized for static-first rendering.
  • Added CI/CD automation and deployment workflows for GitHub Pages, including SEO and sitemap support.
  • Enforced a Lighthouse CI performance budget (90+ performance, 95+ accessibility/best-practices/SEO) as a hard gate on every deploy — a failing score blocks the release; see a passing production run.

Outcome

The site is both a public portfolio and a maintainable technical baseline for future projects and writing.
