Personal site / Project case study
Portfolio Website
A Django-powered personal portfolio with database-backed profile content, projects, experience, and a contact form.
01 / Context
The problem
Project details and a downloadable CV need to stay consistent as experience and work samples change. Maintaining a separate PDF by hand creates duplicate editing work.
02 / Engineering
Technical decisions
Django admin manages published projects, case-study text, and ordered image and video galleries. Draft projects are excluded from public pages and the generated CV.
The website and PDF share a content provider. ReportLab renders the CV on request, so published project updates flow into the download.
The homepage highlights selected work, while a dedicated projects index and detail pages provide room for technical explanations.
03 / Delivery
What the project delivers
Visitors can browse projects and download a CV generated from current content. The portfolio includes a saved theme preference, project publishing controls, and automated tests for public visibility and content rendering.
