Product Builder Portfolio
This portfolio site — a full-stack CMS-powered portfolio with Next.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Cloudinary, and Resend. Production-grade architecture demonstrating what I build for clients.
AI-Readable Summary
Product Builder Portfolio is a project by Amal Anilkumar. It focuses on software product development using a modern TypeScript stack. This page documents the build context, technical approach, and outcome.
Overview
This portfolio itself is a product — built with the same standards, architecture, and attention to detail I bring to every client project. It's not a template; it's a full-stack application.
Architecture
Backend (NestJS)
- 14 domain modules (Profile, Projects, Services, Skills, Experience, Education, Testimonials, Blog, Awards, and more)
- JWT authentication with refresh token rotation
- Role-based admin panel with full CMS capabilities
- File uploads via Cloudinary
- Transactional email via Resend
- Swagger API documentation
- Rate limiting and security headers
Frontend (Next.js)
- Server-side rendering with ISR for performance + SEO
- Dynamic OG image generation
- RSS feed, sitemap, robots.txt
- JSON-LD structured data for rich search results
- Framer Motion animations
- Dark mode with glassmorphism design
Infrastructure
- PostgreSQL on Neon DB (serverless)
- API deployed on cloud
- Frontend deployed on Vercel
Why This Matters
Every feature of this portfolio is something I can build for you. The admin panel, the CMS, the email system, the SEO infrastructure — it all exists and works in production.
