Elyas Heidari | Portfolio & Research Blog

This repository contains the source code for my personal portfolio and research blog, hosted at elihei2.github.io.

The site is designed as a Digital Curriculum Vitae and research showcase, built with a focus on:

• Clean Aesthetics: “Google Dark” theme with high-contrast typography and subtle interactive elements.
• Performance: Static site generation (SSG) for optimal loading speeds.
• Maintainability: Component-based architecture using React and Material UI.

🚀 Technologies

• Framework: Next.js (App Router)
• UI System: Material UI (MUI) v6
• Styling: emotion (CSS-in-JS) with a custom Dark Theme (src/theme/theme.ts)
• Content: Markdown processing (remark, gray-matter) for blog posts.
• Optimization: next/font with Inter and Roboto Mono.
• Deployment: GitHub Actions -> GitHub Pages.
