Rebuilding My Portfolio Site with a Better Publishing Workflow

Published April 19, 2026

I am rebuilding my personal site so posting projects and writing blog posts is faster and more consistent.

Why rebuild

• I wanted one source of truth for project and blog content.
• I wanted reusable layouts instead of repeating headers and footers.
• I wanted a cleaner Netlify deployment workflow with preview-friendly pages.

What changed

I now keep entries as Markdown files with frontmatter metadata. A build script reads those files and generates static pages.

This means I can publish by creating a single Markdown file and deploying.
