Ibim Braide Portfolio

This is my personal website and portfolio. I built it to present my work as a freelance engineer and community organiser based in the United Kingdom, with a focus on mobile and full stack delivery and clear outcomes. I want it to feel calm, credible, and human. It should communicate technical depth, leadership, and impact without losing warmth.

It is also a living home for my writing. I care about AI ethics, software engineering, community building, and developer education. This site is where I publish, reflect, and show my work in public.

What you will find

• Projects and case studies with clear outcomes and lessons
• Open source contributions and tooling work
• Community leadership, including Flutter Birmingham and Golang Birmingham
• Writing, speaking, and media appearances
• A living Now page and a practical Uses page
• A timeline that shows growth and direction
• Impact evidence, framed professionally

Tech stack

• Next.js
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• MDX for long form content
• Framer Motion for restrained, purposeful motion

Content structure

• Content lives in content/ as MDX
• Pages and routing live in src/pages/
• Shared UI and layout live in src/components/
• Static assets live in public/

Local development

npm install
npm run dev

Why this exists

I want a portfolio that feels elite and trustworthy. It should be easy to scan, but rewarding to read slowly. It should speak to recruiters, engineering managers, conference organisers, open source maintainers, and reviewers who care about impact and credibility.
