This Portfolio (v2)

Laravel 13 personal site with a RAG-powered AI chat, Tailwind v4 dark design system, and a full admin panel.

The challenge

Portfolio sites are usually a static stack that can't grow into anything dynamic. Adding a search, AI chat, or admin dashboard later means migrating off the platform.

The result

A Laravel 13 app with a typed admin panel, RAG-powered AI chat grounded in posts/projects, Tailwind v4 dark design system, OG image generator, and full SEO surface — so the site evolves without a rewrite.

Overview

A ground-up rewrite of my personal site. Every page, component, and line of CSS is hand-crafted — no starter templates.

Alpine.js for Blade interactivity
Inertia.js + React for the admin panel

Claude Sonnet for RAG-powered AI chat
Meilisearch for full-text search

Highlights

AI chat grounded in my actual writing and project descriptions
Sub-100ms server response times (response cache + eager loading)
Lighthouse score 98+ on all pages
90+ Pest tests, PHPStan level 9, zero type errors
