Since 2013 I have been maintaining my website and portfolio and changing the content and its technologies. The website has been powered by Content Management Systems such as Webs, Weebly, SquareSpace, WordPress, and other CMS’ to then in 2017 I transitioned the website and hand-coded my own CMS for the website with HTML, CSS, and PHP OPP (Object-Oriented Programming) languages.
Then today in 2022, I’m proud to announce that I have changed the website and the CMS to be hand-coded in the new modern JavaScript Framework of NextJS](https://nextjs.org/) by Vercel with a codebase of React and TypeScript 🎉.
With this new era, I'm able to create a higher-level website and even deploy it on a Vercel server. This change has allowed me to have a faster, smoother, more optimized website and portfolio, better templating, and so much more!
Even though I'm still optimizing and constructing features, I feel as, my website is loading faster and smoother!
