Overview

This repository is the codebase behind my personal / portfolio / blog site, rendered via GitHub Pages. Posts are maintained in Markdown, integrated with a site generator, Jekyll.

This site provides a flexible platform to host blog posts, project pages, about section, and more — with source versioned via Git.

Technologies / Stack

• Jekyll for static site generation
• Markdown files for posts / pages
• Liquid templating (if Jekyll)
• Tailwind CSS (for styling)
• GitHub Pages as hosting
