ML Engineer Portfolio Website

I need a clean, modern portfolio site that presents me as a Machine-Learning Engineer and lets visitors quickly explore my work. The core of the site is a Project Showcase where each project has its own page with screenshots, a short problem–solution narrative, tech-stack tags, and links to the live demo or GitHub repo.

Although a full blog section is not required for the initial release, the design should leave room for a future technology-focused blog so the navigation and folder structure remain extensible. Responsive behaviour, fast loading times, and solid SEO markup are priorities because most recruiters will be viewing the site on mobile first.

Please build with a modern front-end framework you are comfortable with (React, Next.js, Vue, or a lightweight static-site generator are all fine) and keep the codebase easy for me to maintain. Deployment will go to my own domain on either Netlify or Vercel, so include a brief hand-off guide covering build commands, environment variables (if any), and how to add new projects.

Acceptance criteria
• Pixel-perfect implementation of the approved design on desktop, tablet, and mobile
• Functional project pages reachable from a grid or list view on the homepage
• Lighthouse performance score of 90+ without sacrificing visual quality
• Clear written instructions that let me reproduce the build and deploy in one sitting

If this sounds straightforward to you, I look forward to seeing how you would structure the project showcase and any design references you might suggest.
