Akhil Nair's Personal Site

Hey there! Akhil here. This is a v2 of my portfolio site, a complete rewrite from v1 which is shamefully a template I edited a bit back on 2018. I wanted to try out what I can do on my own in regards to UI and UX design so I reckon why not start with my porfolio.

This is written in Typescript using Next.js, as a SSG tool. It utilizes ChakraUI as well as Framer Motion for animations.

This contains bits of my details. In future I am planning to get this to cater my own blog too but for now will use dev.to links.

Site is Currently deployed at Vercel's Free tier .

Local Development

This is just a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Please use atleast Node v12, but the recommended version is Node v14 LTS. There's a .nvmrc, you can run nvm use if you have nvm installed.

Getting Started

This project heavily favors yarn over npm.

So to set things up you need to run

yarn install

or just

yarn

Then to run the development server:

yarn dev

and it should open at

http://localhost:3000/

Deployment

Nothing special, its setup at Vercel end (irrc: no Vercel.toml), just merge a feat branch to master branch and you're good.
