Personal Portfolio (anshuljain.net)

This portfolio started as a fork of Naman Barkiya's minimal-next-portfolio — a clean, developer-focused template. The problem was that my background isn't purely technical. I'm an AI automation specialist, but also a guitarist and a writer. A template built to show GitHub stats wasn't going to cut it.

So I rebuilt it from the inside out. A full MDX blog pipeline with a 3-tier responsive Table of Contents, share buttons, and structured data. A music page with a custom waveform audio player, YouTube RSS integration, and embeds from Spotify and Bandcamp. A writing portfolio with before/after conversion rate graphs. And a visitor notification system — proxy.ts runs on the edge, filters bots across 55+ UA patterns with a JS verification step, and pushes a notification to my phone when a real person visits.

The full codebase is open-sourced as a boilerplate on GitHub — stripped of personal data and ready to fork.
