This portfolio serves as a professional showcase of my skills, experience, and expertise in software localization and web development. The website demonstrates practical implementation of internationalization best practices, featuring seamless language switching, culturally adapted UI, and a modern, accessible design.
As a Localization Engineer, I've designed this portfolio to exemplify professional i18n/l10n implementation:
- Custom i18n Architecture - Built from the ground up without heavy frameworks
- 4 Language Support - English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French with instant switching
- Culturally Adapted Content - Not just translated, but localized for each audience
- SEO Optimized - Multilingual metadata and proper lang attributes
- Scalable Structure - Easy to add new languages through JSON files
Custom-built i18n system designed for scalability and maintainability:
- JSON-based translations with concatenated keys (
"section.subsection.key") - Context-aware language switching with persistent state management
- Dynamic content rendering for all UI elements
- ICU Message Format ready for complex pluralization and formatting
- Separation of concerns - Translations isolated in dedicated locale files
This implementation showcases best practices from my professional experience working with React-intl and managing 20+ languages on enterprise platforms.
- Dark/Light Mode - Automatic theme detection with manual toggle
- Smooth Animations - Subtle, performant transitions using Framer Motion
- Responsive Design - Mobile-first approach, optimized for all screen sizes

- Direct Email Integration - No third-party forms, emails sent via Resend API
- Form Validation - Client and server-side validation
- Beautiful Email Templates - Professional HTML emails with branding
- Reply-to Configuration - Easy response workflow
- Resume Download - One-click PDF download with metadata
- Professional Timeline - Work experience and education showcase

Custom i18n Implementation
Built specifically for this project to demonstrate l10n expertise:
- Architecture: Context API + JSON locale files
- Format: Concatenated keys for flat structure (
hero.title,nav.about) - Runtime: Dynamic object reconstruction from flat keys
- Scalability: Easy to add languages without code changes
- Performance: Static JSON imports, no runtime fetching
This approach combines the flexibility of custom solutions with the maintainability of structured translation files, perfect for professional localization workflows.
- React Hook Form - Performant form validation
- next-themes - Theme management
- Resend - Modern email API
- Hero Section - Dynamic title rotation with split-flap animation effect
- About Me - Professional summary highlighting l10n and dev experience
- Skills & Tech Stack - Technical skills, spoken languages, and tools
- Resume Download - PDF resume with file metadata
- Education & Experience - Professional timeline with detailed descriptions
- Contact Form - Functional email contact with validation

- Maintainable - Clear key naming conventions
- Version-controllable - Simple JSON diffs
- CAT tool compatible - Works with translation management systems
- ✅ SEO Optimized - Meta tags, semantic HTML, proper lang attributes
- ✅ Accessible - WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, keyboard navigation
- ✅ Performance - Optimized images, code splitting, lazy loading
- ✅ Responsive - Mobile-first, tested on all device sizes
- ✅ Type Safety - Full TypeScript coverage
- ✅ Security - Environment variables, input sanitization
