<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The problem</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>It was time for a new portfolio site.  The last one was built circa 2014 and it showed.</li>



<li>I wanted to learn something new and showcase emerging technology simultaneously.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The solution</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The site&#8217;s WordPress CMS is hosted on <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://azure.microsoft.com" target="_blank">Azure</a> as an <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/app-service/" target="_blank">App Service</a> and has no frontend theme.</li>



<li>The frontend you&#8217;re looking at is built with <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://reactjs.org/" target="_blank">React</a> and JSX, and hosted on <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://vercel.com/" target="_blank">Vercel</a>.</li>



<li><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://nextjs.org/" target="_blank">Nextjs</a> facilitates server-side static page generation and routing within React.</li>



<li>The result is an amazingly fast site that combines the familiarity of WordPress with some of the most exciting technology available.</li>
</ul>
