Key Engineering Achievements

Static Site Performance

School websites need to load fast on any device, especially for parents on mobile.

Leveraged Next.js static generation (SSG) for all pages, optimized images with next/image, and used Tailwind CSS for minimal CSS bundle size.

Impact

Impact

Parents stay informed about school activities without needing separate communication channels.

Developer's Note

Building for a school meant prioritizing accessibility and simplicity above all. The best feedback I got was from a teacher who said 'I can actually update the events myself.' That's when I knew the UX was right.
