This Website

This portfolio was designed not only as a showcase of projects, but as a practical reflection of the “builder of ideas” philosophy: bringing together solid software engineering, artisan attention to detail, and modern web technologies.

Built with Astro and automatically deployed to GitHub Pages via CI/CD with GitHub Actions, the website pairs top-tier performance (zero unnecessary client-side JavaScript by default) with an authorial visual and interactive identity.

Key Technical Highlights & Features:

• Craftsman Workbench & Patent Sketch Aesthetic: A visual identity inspired by classic patent blueprints, technical sketches, and The Pragmatic Programmer workbench concept. Built with custom SVGs and pure CSS micro-interactions — featuring a cutting mat with millimeter rulers, angle protractor, articulated drafting compass, rack-and-pinion gear theme toggle, and a wind-up automaton chat button.
• Integrated AI Assistant (Zippy): An interactive real-time chat widget powered by the Google Gemini API through a serverless Cloudflare Worker proxy. Built-in build-time semantic context (context.md) enables the agent to answer visitor questions regarding my experience, projects, and skills.
• Internationalization (i18n): Full bilingual support (Portuguese and English) with dynamic routing ([...lang]), fallbacks, and typed content management powered by Astro Content Collections with Zod schemas.
• Frontend Architecture & Accessibility: Semantic HTML5 structure, 100% responsive layout across all screens (desktop, tablet, and mobile), optimized contrast, full keyboard navigation, and fine-tuned Core Web Vitals.
