Overview
GaardboDev Website is a small personal portfolio project built to showcase my work and experiments in software and game development.
The goal was to create a clean, modern website using current web technologies while exploring how hosting, deployment, and domain management work in practice.
Purpose
This project started as a way to learn and test modern frontend frameworks — especially Next.js and TypeScript.
I wanted to build a functional, responsive portfolio that could host my personal and professional projects, while also serving as a playground for experimenting with ideas and designs
Development
The website was developed using Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, with a focus on simplicity and performance.
It uses dynamic routes to display detailed project pages sourced from JSON and Markdown data files, allowing for a flexible and easily maintainable structure.
Hosting and deployment are handled through Vercel, making continuous deployment seamless whenever I push updates to the repository.
The project was a great opportunity to:
- Practice frontend architecture and modular component design
- Work with Next.js App Router and dynamic routing
- Implement Markdown rendering, data-driven pages, and a reusable component system
- Explore hosting, domains, and general web deployment pipelines
Challenges & Learnings
While simple in scope, this project taught me valuable lessons about modern web tooling:
- Building a responsive UI and reusable components
- Integrating structured data for dynamic content generation
- Understanding deployment workflows with Vercel
- Keeping a balance between clean code, flexibility, and design consistency
The site also served as a low-pressure environment to experiment, make mistakes, and improve — an important reminder that not every project needs to be large or complex to be worthwhile.
