Case 21 Portfolio Sep 2026 – Present

Portfolio ver. 3

The third version of jodriscoll.com: an Astro 7 site on Cloudflare Workers, written for two readers at once, the person deciding whether to hire me and the AI agent screening the application first.

Notes from the build

01 / 05

Written for the screener too

Applications are often read by an AI agent before a person. Every project, role and post is also published as JSON-LD, llms.txt, JSON Resume and a JSON content API, from the same content files the pages use.

02 / 05

One source of truth

Projects are one JSON spec each. The Work page, project pages, resume, feeds and API all read from them, so a fact changes in one place.

03 / 05

Static first

Every page is rendered at build time. The Worker only runs for the contact form and the API, so pages load as plain files from Cloudflare's network.

04 / 05

From Pages to Workers

Ver. 2 built on Cloudflare Pages from Git. Ver. 3 moved to Workers with static assets, which the Astro adapter now targets, and kept the domain, DNS and account where they were.

05 / 05

No client framework

Interactions (filters, the timeline, the contents bar, the contact sheet) are small inline scripts on top of HTML and CSS.

How it ships Custom Pipeline Built

The site builds and deploys from my machine with Wrangler. Pushing to GitHub doesn't deploy; a release is a build and one deploy command.

01 Build

astro build renders 94 routes to static HTML: every page, project, post, the feeds and the machine-readable files.
02 Assets

The rendered pages, styles, fonts and screenshots upload to Workers static assets. Unchanged files are skipped.
03 Worker

The /api routes (contact form, events and the content API) run on the Worker with nodejs_compat.
04 Secrets

The Resend keys are Worker secrets, set with wrangler secret bulk. They never enter the repository.
05 Domain

jodriscoll.com is a custom domain on the Worker. DNS stays on the Cloudflare zone it has used for years.
