This is my personal project hub — a place to showcase the things I build as I learn full-stack development.

What It Does

  • Serves a fast, static portfolio site built with Astro
  • Runs inside a Docker container for clean, reproducible deployments
  • Uses Nginx as a reverse proxy with Let’s Encrypt SSL for HTTPS
  • Auto-deploys on every git push via GitHub Actions
  • Hosted on an AWS EC2 instance

What I Learned

  • Configuring Nginx as a reverse proxy with proper security headers
  • Building a multi-stage Dockerfile for static sites
  • Using Astro’s content collections to power dynamic project pages
  • Setting up CI/CD with GitHub Actions and SSH key authentication
  • Debugging SSH authentication, base64 encoding, and Nginx routing

What’s Next

  • Adding more projects as I build them
  • A blog section for write-ups
  • Dark/light mode toggle
