Building a Full-Stack Engineering Portfolio
Next.jsPortfolioEngineering
How I transitioned from a software-only portfolio to showcasing hardware and AI projects.
Introduction
As a multidisciplinary engineer, showcasing work across different domains can be challenging. Standard portfolios often focus on just one aspect—usually software. However, my work spans significantly into Hardware embedded systems and AI/ML research.
The Challenge
I needed a portfolio that could:
- Highlight rigorous software engineering practices.
- Showcase hardware projects with their sensors and microcontrollers.
- Display AI models and research papers.
The Solution
I decided to expand my Next.js portfolio to include dedicated sections for each domain.
Hardware Section
For hardware, I focused on the components used. It's not just about the final product, but the stack:
- Microcontrollers: ESP32, Arduino, STM32
- Sensors: LiDAR, IMUs, Environmental sensors
AI/ML Section
For AI, the focus is on the architecture and research:
- Models: Transformers, CNNs, GANs
- Links: Direct access to papers and repositories.
Conclusion
This new structure allows me to tell a complete story of my engineering journey.
