A developer's personal portfolio with a creative terminal-style interface and command-driven navigation.

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind
  • Terminal UI

Task

The client needed a portfolio that wouldn't get lost among template sites and would immediately convey the developer's level. We discussed the goal — to stand out while staying usable — the target audience, and which projects and skills mattered most to show first. We fixed the scope: the concept, the section structure, and a fast-loading requirement.

Solution

We designed navigation around a terminal-style command interface and built a working prototype straight in code, refining the look on a live version. We built the site on Next.js: command navigation (about, skills, experience, projects, contact) and an interactive hackme challenge. As we built, we showed progress and refined the interaction details.

Result

The outcome is a distinctive terminal UX that sticks in memory and sets the portfolio apart from typical solutions. Pages load fast, and the structure stays clear even for first-time visitors to a command interface.

Approach & decisions

The main challenge was balance: keep the striking terminal metaphor without scaring off a visitor expecting a familiar site. We added clear hints and fallback navigation so the command interface feels like a game rather than a barrier. We paid separate attention to performance so animations and interactivity wouldn't slow loading.

How we ran the project

  • 01

    Discussion & requirements

    We get on a call with the client, map the goals, audience and constraints, and fix the scope of work.

  • 02

    Planning

    We work out the structure, user scenarios and architecture, and choose technologies that fit the task.

  • 03

    Prototype in code

    We build a working prototype directly in code and align the interface on a live version — not on static mockups.

  • 04

    Development

    We write code in iterations, show progress regularly and keep the client in the loop.

  • 05

    Testing & launch

    We test across devices and scenarios, then roll out to production.

  • 06

    Support & growth

    We stay in touch, maintain the product and keep developing it further.

    The club now has a single digital layer around its existing CRM: guests see the schedule and book from the website, members fill in the form, check in and track their membership from their phone, coaches mark attendance, admins see analytics and publish news, and competitions are scored automatically. Everything works in three languages and runs on the club's own server in Kazakhstan.
