Building with React and Next.js

Why React and Next.js remain my default for full-stack product work, hackathons, and SEO-friendly personal sites.

React still wins for product velocity. Next.js adds routing, metadata, and rendering options that matter for SEO.

For portfolios and apps alike, I care about fast first paint, clear server content, and components that stay maintainable under deadline.
