  • Recommended and compared donor templates for integration, focusing on visual grammar and typographic hierarchy.
  • Designed a clean layout for the Next.js application and ensured alignment with the existing shell.
  • Managed Git branches by cleaning up unnecessary files and restoring runtime artifacts.
  • Developed a public deployment strategy, transitioning from local file reading to a public snapshot-driven approach.
  • Restored and managed dependencies in the Next.js project to ensure reproducible builds.
  • Deployed the news site on Vercel, ensuring a stable online presence.

Achievements:

  • Successfully identified and implemented suitable Next.js templates for a digital magazine.
