I ditched React and Tailwind to build my portfolio with Eleventy, Sass, and Vanilla JS

I just rebuilt my personal site from the ground up. I spend most of my time building heavy full-stack apps and AI systems using Next.js, Laravel, and LLM agent workflows. But for my own portfolio, I wanted raw speed and absolute minimalism.

The stack:

Eleventy (11ty)

Sass

Vanilla JS
