2024 - 2025
I needed to build a modern portfolio website that demonstrates expertise in performance optimization and modern web development, but most portfolio sites struggle with balancing rich visual experiences (animations, themes) with optimal performance scores.
Create a cutting-edge portfolio website using Next.js 14 that achieves perfect PageSpeed scores (100/100) and Core Web Vitals while implementing advanced animations, theme system, and SEO optimization without compromising user experience.
Built the site with Next.js 14 App Router for optimal performance, implemented TypeScript for type safety, utilized SSR and ISR for fast page loads, integrated Framer Motion animations optimized for performance, created a responsive design with Tailwind CSS, implemented theme system with zero FOUC, optimized Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS), and added comprehensive SEO with structured data and meta tags.
Achieved 100/100 PageSpeed scores on both mobile and desktop, perfect Core Web Vitals (LCP < 1.2s, FID < 10ms, CLS < 0.1), zero layout shift with smooth theme transitions, fast time-to-interactive with optimized bundle sizes, improved SEO rankings, and enhanced user engagement with performant animations.
Balancing complex animations, theme switching, and server/client component state management in Next.js 14 App Router while maintaining perfect performance metrics was challenging, especially avoiding flash of unstyled content during theme transitions.
Implement a robust theme system that works seamlessly across server and client components, optimize animations to not impact Core Web Vitals, and ensure accessibility while maintaining the rich visual experience.
Designed theme system with script-based initialization to prevent FOUC, optimized animations using Framer Motion with performance-focused configurations, managed state effectively across server/client boundaries, implemented accessibility features for all animations, and created smooth transitions that maintain performance metrics.
Achieved zero FOUC with instant theme switching, maintained perfect performance scores with optimized animations, ensured full accessibility compliance, created seamless user experience across all devices, and demonstrated modern web development best practices.
