portfolio website

This is my personal website live site here.

How It's Made:

I used a template from HTML5UP. The actual live website is hosted on an AWS Cloudfront Distribution serving content from a S3 bucket.

Optimizations:

Using a template definitely improved the time to go live. Using AWS was much harder than using Netlify (what I used before), but ultimately it was worth it for what I learned.

Lessons Learned:

I learned a lot about DNS, CDNs, and other networking, routing, and deployment things from putting this on AWS.

Future Changes:

• Add CD implementation via GitHub Actions to AWS S3 bucket (in progress).
  • Current status - connection live - troubleshooting why some pages are not updating correctly on change
