Why A Portfolio Site?

A portfolio site is necessary to showcase IT skills. A portfolio site is a great way to distinguish oneself while pursuing new opportunities in a competitive job market. Additionally, the site can potential build new connections with peers.

The Goal

• Import markdown files from Obsidian into Hugo.
  • Automate this process with a script.
• Build the portfolio site with Hugo and a provided theme.
• Keep the code in a git repository for versioning control.
• Create a GitHub action so that when Hugo is update and pushed to GitHub a GitHub actions is kicked off to sync the necessary files to S3.
• The files in the S3 Bucket will produce a static website.

Building It All Out

Note on the S3 Bucket and Cloudfront

In a previous project predating the posts to my static website, I already set up a public S3 bucket with Cloudfront and the necessary Route53 settings. In a future version of this post, I intend to update this post with the steps neccessart to set up the public S3 bucket, Cloudfront, and Route53.
