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:

  1. Highlight rigorous software engineering practices.
  2. Showcase hardware projects with their sensors and microcontrollers.
  3. 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.
