Problem

Engineering work is often invisible. Portfolios show polished results but not the thinking behind them.

Why It Matters

Hiring decisions are made based on visible artifacts. A traditional portfolio shows what you built, but not how you think. This site exposes the engineering process itself.

System Approach

  • Next.js 16 with App Router for optimal performance
  • Minimal design language inspired by documentation sites
  • GitHub-backed content sourced from actual repositories
  • Static generation with Vercel deployment

Key Decisions & Trade-offs

  • Documentation-first aesthetic over flashy portfolio style
  • Vanilla CSS for full control, minimal dependencies
  • Content structured as data for easy updates
  • Focus on AI projects only — no tutorials or clones

Current Status

Live at rohitraj.tech with AI projects, Notes, and Repos sections.

Roadmap

  • Add technical blog/notes with MDX
  • Implement RSS feed
  • Add search functionality

What I'd Improve Next

  • Could add dark mode toggle
  • Consider adding project demos/recordings
