Shipping a portfolio in one afternoon

A practical checklist from clone to Vercel — without redesigning everything.

You don't need a two-week redesign. You need a deployed URL you can put on your CV today.

Checklist

  1. Clone the template and run npm install && npm run dev.
  2. Open src/data/site.ts — name, role, email, socials.
  3. Replace projects in src/data/projects.ts (gradients work until you have screenshots).
  4. Push to GitHub → Import on Vercel → done.

Polish later

Dark mode, custom accent color, real photos, and a blog post can wait until after the first interview link is live.
