Challenge

A static PDF resume does not show how you think or how you handle the unglamorous parts of shipping software like CI gates, visual regression and accessibility.

Solution

Built this site as a Next.js 15 App Router application with a scroll-driven evolution avatar, Framer Motion timeline, dynamic project case-study routes, Playwright visual regression in CI, Lighthouse CI budgets, and a full agent-readability layer (llms.txt, JSON-LD Person schema, OG metadata, sitemap, robots).

Outcome

Live at lpaldano.com with 112+ passing tests, Lighthouse performance budget gated in CI, and real-user Core Web Vitals tracked via Vercel Speed Insights.
