Theo Browne Portfolio
Creator of the T3 Stack and T3 Chat, and CEO of Ping Labs — his minimalist site is a hub for open-source tooling (create-t3-app, UploadThing) built to make full-stack TypeScript pragmatic.
What makes it work
A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.
An opinionated stack as the portfolio's core artifact
The T3 Stack isn't a demo app — it's create-t3-app, a scaffolding tool tens of thousands of developers start real projects from. Publishing opinions as a tool people run is stronger than an essay about them.
Building infrastructure to fix his own friction (UploadThing)
It exists because file uploads in full-stack TypeScript apps were disproportionately painful — a tool born from repeated real annoyance.
A deliberately minimal, link-forward homepage
Just a tagline and direct links to shipped projects. For someone whose credibility is entirely built on working software, getting out of the way of the proof is more consistent than a heavily designed brand site.
What Full Stack Developers can take from this
Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.
If you have a strong opinion about a stack, package it as a scaffolding tool others can run, not just a blog post about your preferences.
Build small, sharply-scoped infrastructure around one recurring pain point rather than a broad framework.
A minimal, link-forward homepage is the right call once your shipped projects are the actual credibility.
Keep your project list current and prune what's no longer maintained.
