ICGreborns — Portfolio
A portfolio that practices what it preaches: every line of copy served from a CMS, two languages, light and dark themes, a printable CV — all wrapped in a design system built from scratch.

A developer’s portfolio should prove the skills it claims. Most are static pages: copy hardcoded in components, a single language, no content workflow — every text tweak means a commit and a redeploy.
I wanted a site that demonstrates the full stack I sell: content architecture, multilingual delivery, accessibility and performance — not just screenshots of other work.
Everything, end-to-end: brand and design system (tokens, typography, themes), content modeling in Sanity, the Next.js front-end, the contact pipeline and deployment. No template, no UI kit — every component and every GROQ query is hand-written.
Next.js 16 (App Router, Turbopack) and React 19 on the front; Sanity v5 as a headless CMS with the Studio embedded at /studio. Locales are data, not config: translatable fields use internationalized arrays resolved per request with graceful fallbacks, so the site never breaks on missing content.
The next-sanity live content API keeps published edits fresh; the contact form runs through a server action (Resend) with server-side validation; deploys ship from Vercel.
The site now runs like a product: copy, projects and even languages are edited in the Studio and ship without a redeploy. This very case study follows that pipeline — written in the CMS, rendered by the app.
