Portfolio v2 is live!

A new stack and a few things I've learned

I've rebuilt my portfolio from the ground up! It's live here jaydenteo.com

This time around, I used:

  • Next.js for the application

  • GSAP for animations

  • Contentful as a headless CMS

  • Vercel for hosting and deployment

One of the biggest changes from my previous portfolio is how I've handled the content. Instead of having everything hardcoded, Contentful now manages my work experience, projects, and blog posts, making it easier to update the site without changing the code.

I also switched from Framer Motion to GSAP for the animations. I found GSAP more complex, but easier to implement thanks to its documentation and community support. I used it for text animations, smooth scrolling and some motion animations.

It's been a fun little project to put together, and I'll keep adding to it as I build more and learn new things!
