# Everett Merrill

Documentation-style portfolio inspired by MDN, focused on backend engineering and clear technical writing. This site highlights system design thinking, API architecture, and JavaScript tutorials with interactive examples.

## Overview

This portfolio is built to present backend projects in a documentation-first format rather than a traditional marketing layout. The goal is clarity, structure, and technical depth.

---

## Features

- MDN-inspired documentation layout  
- Mobile-responsive design  
- Sidebar-based navigation  
- Dynamic tutorials powered by PostgreSQL  
- Interactive JavaScript code sandbox  
- Terminal-style output for running algorithms  
- Rotating duped Ad banner for my projects: 
  - BeetleDronesMedia  
  - CodeSalmon CLI  
- Project deep-dives with architecture notes  
- Custom domain email routing  

---

## Tech Stack

### Frontend
- Next.js  
- React  
- TypeScript  
- Monaco Editor  

### Backend
- Next.js API Routes

## Purpose

This site serves as a living technical reference of my work. 
It combines backend-focused project documentation, system design breakdowns, and executable JavaScript examples to demonstrate practical engineering skills.




This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app).

## Getting Started

First, run the development server:

```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/fonts) to automatically optimize and load [Geist](https://vercel.com/font), a new font family for Vercel.

## Learn More

To learn more about Next.js, take a look at the following resources:

- [Next.js Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs) - learn about Next.js features and API.
- [Learn Next.js](https://nextjs.org/learn) - an interactive Next.js tutorial.

You can check out [the Next.js GitHub repository](https://github.com/vercel/next.js) - your feedback and contributions are welcome!

## Deploy on Vercel

The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the [Vercel Platform](https://vercel.com/new?utm_medium=default-template&filter=next.js&utm_source=create-next-app&utm_campaign=create-next-app-readme) from the creators of Next.js.
