Personal portfolio site for Ian Alloway — data scientist, ML engineer, and applied systems builder.

Live site: https://ianalloway.xyz

What this is

A clean portfolio focused on:

• selected projects
• writing and Substack updates
• a small toolkit/index for useful links
• a simple place to present current work

Stack

• Vite
• React
• TypeScript
• shadcn-ui
• Tailwind CSS

Local development

npm install
npm run dev
npm run build

Content updates

Adding academic papers

1. Add the PDF to /public/papers/ with a clean filename.
2. Update the academicPapers array in src/pages/Index.tsx.
3. Commit and deploy.

Newsletter / contact form

The contact-area subscribe form posts to /api/newsletter-subscribe and:

• creates a Notion entry
• sends a notification email
• redirects the visitor to the Substack subscribe flow

Required env vars:

NOTION_API_KEY=secret_your_notion_integration_token
NOTION_PARENT_PAGE_ID=your_notion_parent_page_id
RESEND_API_KEY=re_your_resend_api_key
RESEND_FROM_EMAIL="Ian Alloway <onboarding@yourdomain.com>"
NOTIFY_EMAIL=ian@allowayllc.com
SUBSTACK_PUBLICATION_URL=https://allowayai.substack.com

Deployment

The repo includes vercel.json so preview deployments can serve SPA routes like /now, /hireme, and /toolkit without 404s while still routing /api/* to serverless functions.

Notes

• Keep the homepage current and minimal.
• This repo should feel like a polished landing page, not a feature dump.
