This portfolio — built with FastAPI, async SQLAlchemy, Next.js 16, and next-intl for en/pt-BR.

Problem: Needed a portfolio that itself serves as a technical signal — not just a list of projects, but a live demonstration of the stack I want to be hired to work with.

Decision: Built a full backend (FastAPI + async SQLAlchemy + PostgreSQL on Neon) instead of a static site or headless CMS. This makes the repository itself evaluable code, not just a showcase. Chose next-intl for i18n to serve both English-speaking international recruiters (default) and Portuguese-speaking Brazilian market without duplicating routes.

Result: Public repository at github.com/LucasAAvila/portfolio demonstrates async Python backend, Pydantic v2 schemas, Alembic migrations, Docker, and Next.js App Router — all in production.
