Tomy Lim Portfolio
First Principles
"The Challenge: Static resumes fail to show real technical skills. The Solution: Built a website using google analytics with tracking foundation, serverless tech stack to prove hands-on capability."
I built this portfolio to solve a major problem: standard portfolios are flat, static resumes that hide true technical ability. Having spent five years building independent projects, I wanted a live, high-performance site to actively prove my GTM tag setups, analytics skills, and systems-thinking. By bypassing rigid drag-and-drop website builders, I custom-engineered a premium site using Next.js and Sanity CMS to demonstrate high-leverage growth infrastructure.

Live GTM & Tagging Deployment
To back up five years of independent building with undeniable proof, I turned my entire portfolio into a live data environment. By integrating Google Tag Manager, custom data layers, and GA4 events directly into the codebase, I let users inspect my tracking setups in real-time to immediately verify my analytics competency.
Lean $0/Month Infrastructure
I avoided expensive drag-and-drop templates to build a highly optimized, developer-grade architecture. By integrating a Sanity CMS backend, Next.js serverless rendering, Loops email forms, and Vercel hosting, I built a premium, custom platform with $0 in monthly operating overhead.
Strategic Journal & Content Loop
I built a technical blog directly into the site schema focusing on AI, automation, and marketing. This content engine moves beyond one-off resume views, creating a continuous return loop that offers long-term, compound value to founders, growth marketers, and systems engineers.
Direct Conversion Architecture
I designed the user flow of this site to guide visitors straight toward clear conversion endpoints. Every element is structured to funnel clean data signals into two specific, high-intent user actions: capturing immediate consulting inquiries through the contact terminal, or driving friction-free downloads of my comprehensive professional resume.
