RolePersonal site — design & buildPeriodApr 1, 2026Linkwww.kisunglee.com/

A Next.js + Directus personal site. CMS-driven modular blocks, HMR in dev via bind-mount, optimized standalone image for production.

This site is the long-term home for my writing and professional introduction.

The stack is intentionally boring: Next.js 16 App Router + Directus 11, PostgreSQL and Redis in Docker, host NGINX terminating TLS. A single script toggles the frontend between a bind-mounted next dev image and an optimized standalone image — so day-to-day iteration stays fast without compromising the production surface.

The design borrows structural clarity from Brittany Chiang, tone from Lee Robinson, and long-term content architecture from Tania Rascia — translated, not copied.
