Portfolio Website
This repository hosts my personal website and project portfolio.
The site is built with Hugo, a fast static site generator, and is intended to showcase my work, projects, background, and selected professional information in a simple and maintainable format.
Purpose
This website is meant to:
- present my portfolio projects
- highlight my skills, experience, and interests
- provide a central place to share information about my work
- serve as the public source for my personal website
Tech Stack
- Framework: Hugo
- Output: Static website

The -D flag includes draft content during local development.
Build for Production
