Portfolio Rebuid (WIP)

My current portfolio (yeah, the one you're looking at now) is built on top of Behance's Prosite engine, which works great for quick content pushing in the hectic life of a student, where new content is coming out quite often, and the pressure to update your portfolio is on a monthly basis.
 
However, it's running into its limitations. The design isn't as flexible as I'd like. It's not responsive or mobile friendly. No Blog. The SEO is non-existent. etc.
 
I am currently redesigning and rebuilding (at the same time — It's what I call one-man agile development) a new portfolio website from the ground up. Shinier, prettier, now with half the calories (and twice the SEO)!
 
Over-elaborate technical details:
It is being built on top of a custom LEMP (Linux, NGINX, MySQL, PHP) stack running on an Amazon EC2 instance. On the backend, it is being powered by the ModX CMS, which I adore for its open templating structure.
 
I am building it in my favourite IDE of all time, Sublime Text 2. SASS (CSS Pre-compiler) compilation, script minification, build processes, etc, are being done with the help of Yeoman. It is being built on top of a custom-modified responsive grid framework built in SASS, and some shiny new web standards that will degrade gracefully for people with less-than-savory browsers.
 
 
Rough prototype built using placeholder images (kittens!). The 'table of contents' in the grey bar (here, just 'research') is dynamically generated from the markup.
