Portfolio Redesign
This project explores how a structured CMS and a modern front-end framework can work together to create flexible, maintainable page layouts. The site is powered by a small set of composable content models that allow pages and projects to be assembled dynamically while keeping the UI predictable and consistent.
Overview
The application is built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Contentful, combining structured content with a component-driven interface. Instead of hardcoding page layouts, content entries reference reusable section types that map directly to UI components. This approach keeps the presentation layer clean while allowing content editors to shape pages through structured data. The system also introduces typed interfaces to ensure that CMS data remains predictable during development. Each section type maps to a specific component, enabling pages to be assembled dynamically while maintaining strong type safety and a clear separation between content, logic, and presentation. The project is versioned in GitHub and deployed through Vercel with automated builds and preview environments, supporting a smooth workflow from development to production.
View ProjectCONTENT MODEL
Structured CMS Schema
Content is organized through a small set of models in Contentful. Pages reference sections, and each section is assigned a section type that determines how it will render in the UI. This structure keeps content modular while allowing layouts to be composed dynamically.
TYPE SAFETY
Typed Data Interfaces
Content retrieved from the CMS is mapped to TypeScript interfaces that define the expected structure of each entry. This ensures components receive predictable data while helping catch schema mismatches early during development.
CONTENT MODELING
Flexible Project Structure
Projects are modeled as structured entries that can reference their own sections, allowing each project page to be composed using the same building blocks used across the site. Each section type maps to a specific UI component, enabling pages and project detail views to be assembled dynamically from structured CMS data.
DELIVERY PIPELINE
Versioning and Deployment
The project is versioned in GitHub and deployed through Vercel, enabling automatic builds and preview environments for each commit. Changes can be reviewed in staging before reaching production, creating a safe workflow for iterating on features. Static generation and optimized asset delivery help ensure fast page loads and reliable performance.
