CompilerTech
The official site for a compiler-research conference.
Status: Shipped·Stack: Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS · Framer Motion
Overview
A one-shot freelance build. Five pages, hard deadline, audience of compiler folks who scan rather than scroll.
Challenge
The previous site buried the schedule under a hero carousel. People who want to register want two things: when, and a button.
Approach
I led with the schedule. Hero is a single sentence and one CTA. Sub-pages use a strict 12-column grid with mono captions in the margins, no decorative gradients. Motion only on focus changes and page transitions.
Outcome
Conference organizers shipped on time. Site cleared 100 Lighthouse on mobile.
