Welcome to the repository for my professional portfolio website. This project is a testament to the power and versatility of R programming. Developed entirely using R and hosted on Netlify at no cost, this website serves as a dynamic showcase of my professional journey, skills, and projects. The only expense incurred is the domain registration, emphasizing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of this approach. Below, you'll find a summarized step-by-step guide detailing the construction of this site, from inception to deployment. This guide aims to provide insights into the process and encourage others to leverage such tools for their professional presentation.
This is an Rstudio-Quarto-GitHub-Netlify project
