A full-stack portfolio platform built with Next.js 15 and Express.js that demonstrates advanced web development practices and modern architecture patterns. This comprehensive solution combines powerful server-side capabilities with an elegant user interface, featuring server components and actions for optimal performance. The application is architected as a monorepo using yarn workspaces, ensuring consistent development patterns and shared TypeScript types across the entire codebase.

The platform leverages React 19's latest features and implements a custom CMS. Security and data integrity are prioritized through JWT authentication, rate limiting, and optimistic concurrency control using ETags. The backend is powered by Express.js and MongoDB, with Mongoose providing robust data modeling. The system includes sophisticated features such as AWS S3 integration for image management, internationalization support, and Zod-based form validation.
