Overview
This portfolio is the site you are reading right now. It exists as both a personal showcase and a working sandbox for modern Next.js and frontend ergonomics.
Highlights
- Internationalization across English, Portuguese, and Spanish — every URL slug is locale-aware (
/projects,/projetos,/proyectos) vianext-intl. - MDX-driven case studies — project pages like this one are authored as Markdown with frontmatter, kept under version control next to the code.
- Server Actions + Zod validation for the contact form, with AWS SES for transactional email.
- Presigned S3 downloads for resource files, never exposing static URLs to the client.
- Edge-rendered OG images generated per page via
@vercel/og.
Architecture decisions
The stack is intentionally boring where it can be — Next.js App Router, React Server Components, Tailwind v4 — and intentionally interesting where it matters: a 3D hero scene, a particle background, and a command palette. The lib/ layer keeps env validation, MDX loading, and AWS service singletons in one place so API routes stay thin.
What's next
Continuous improvement: more case studies, structured data for search engines, and analytics so I can tell which writeups actually resonate.
