A sleek and responsive portfolio built with Next.js 14, TypeScript, and Tamagui, featuring smooth animations, dark mode, and dynamic project showcases.
🖥️ As a Full Stack Developer, I took on the challenge of creating my own portfolio website to effectively showcase my projects and demonstrate my technical expertise. I needed a platform that reflected my work while maintaining a modern, user-friendly design.
⚙️ To achieve this, I used Next.js 14 and TypeScript, incorporating dynamic project showcases, smooth animations, and a mobile-first, responsive design. I also added dark mode support, ensuring a polished experience for all users.
🚀 Throughout the development, I faced challenges with optimizing performance, especially when implementing smooth transitions for dark mode and ensuring that animations didn’t impact load times. Responsive design for all devices was another key challenge, as I needed to ensure consistent performance across screens.
🌟 The project achieved significant results: I successfully launched a modern portfolio website, scored 90+ on Lighthouse performance tests, and created an engaging user experience with animations and dynamic content.
💡 Through this experience, I gained valuable insights into advanced Next.js 14 features, TypeScript best practices, animation performance optimization, and responsive design techniques.
🔮 Looking ahead, I envision adding a blog section, implementing internationalization, creating a custom CMS for content management, and adding even more interactive and animated project previews.
