Patrick Anderson — Founder's portfolio
Role
Design and development
Stack
Next.js · React · GSAP · Lenis · CSS Modules · Vercel
The founder's portfolio introduces the engineer behind the studio, from Kubernetes and Hyperledger Fabric infrastructure to React interfaces. It had to read as interface work, not as a CV.
What we did
We designed and built the site in Next.js 15 with the App Router and one route per language, English, Portuguese and French, prerendered and served by Vercel. Motion is GSAP with ScrollTrigger over Lenis smooth scrolling: a preloader counts from 00 to 100, the headline swaps its last word letter by letter, the intro text lights up on scroll, the skills rows slide in opposite directions and a curtain covers each page change. The services open as columns with an image and a stack, the selected work sits in a fan of cards you drag, the experience opens as an accordion and the menu carries a light and dark theme and the language switch. A custom cursor changes state over links, text and drag areas. The site uses CSS Modules, Space Grotesk and the Dream Avenue display face.
The founder's portfolio, in three languages: five service columns, front-end to blockchain, opening under the cursor.
On mobile
“Software built to be”: on phones, the headline keeps swapping its last word, and the menu fits in a round button.
Product
A portfolio you use: open the services, change page under a curtain, switch language and theme.
Work on mobile
The selected work sits in a fan of cards you drag; several of them are cases from this studio.
Details
In the details, paper, ink and one indigo: a career accordion, a menu with theme and language, and a footer below.
About on mobile
On phones, portrait and name in one column, before the text that lights up on scroll.
