Objectives

The objective of this project was to re-write my portfolio from scratch using more up to date technology and open source options. I go more into detail on some of the decisions I made and why in the blog post above.

Technology Stack

• React 16.8.6 (with hooks)

• Gatsby JS

• Material UI

• Sanity.io headless CMS

• React Reveal animations

• Three js

• Netlify CI/CD

• Amazon S3

Features

• Completely static site for fast rendering and SEO (Anytime I update content in the CMS, the CMS triggers a web hook in Netlify to rebuild the front-end and deploy it)

• No back-end despite having dynamic content

• Cloud managed CMS - Blog system and Project system

• Cloud managed CI/CD

• Themed UI & Simple UX

• Cloud managed contact form

• WebGL home page animation

• Custom written image carousel / gallery in React
