Personal Website
This project is a developer portfolio generator and static site generator designed to transform markdown files and external API data into a professional website. It functions as a GitHub Pages template that renders dated articles through a markdown blog engine and creates static HTML pages for web hosting.
The system distinguishes itself by acting as a GitHub API portfolio, automatically importing and displaying repository data and user profiles to populate portfolio elements. It utilizes API-driven content injection to automate updates to the project showcase and professional profile.
The framework covers broad capability areas including content management for technical blogs, project repository showcasing with custom filters, and configuration-driven theming to manage global color schemes and layouts. It employs file-based page routing and metadata-driven logic to determine how professional interests and projects are displayed.
The site is designed for deployment and hosting via GitHub Pages.
