The problem
A freelance developer needs a site that proves the craft it sells: fast, accessible, easy to find on Google, and pleasant to read on any device. Most portfolio templates fail at least one of those.
The approach
I designed and built the site from scratch with SvelteKit and Tailwind CSS, treating it like a client engagement: performance budget first, accessibility from the first component, and structured data so search engines understand every page.
The solution
A server-rendered site on Cloudflare’s edge network with a content blog, dark mode that never flashes the wrong theme, self-hosted fonts, JSON-LD on every page, and a fully keyboard-navigable interface that respects reduced-motion preferences.
