Problem
A portfolio has one job: prove you can build. A template proves the opposite. So the site itself became the first project — designed, built, and deployed from zero, in public.
Approach
Next.js 16 with a typed content layer as the single source of truth, a hand-drawn canvas signal field, a keyboard-driven ⌘K palette, and a generated metadata suite — statically exported and shipped to GitHub Pages through a CI pipeline.
Learned
Deploys fail in ways tutorials don't cover. When a CI helper silently overrode my Next config and flattened the routes, reading CDN cache headers taught me more than any doc did.

About

I'm studying Computer Science at Dokuz Eylül University in İzmir — the 2025–2030 run, start to finish. The focus is simple: C#/.NET fundamentals practiced daily, not collected as résumé keywords.
