The source code for my personal website. 🚧 Currently under construction. 🚧

Overview 👀

My personal website is built with a modern tech stack to ensure performance and flexibility. It utilizes the following technologies:

• 🇿 Zig and 🎮 raylib for client-side rendering.
• 🌐 Emscripten for compiling to 🕸️ WebAssembly.
• 🛠️ Binaryen for optimizing WebAssembly.
• 🦀 Rust for backend logic utilizing 🔢 AWS Lambda.
• 🐍 Python for additional backend logic utilizing AWS Lambda.
• 🧠 Gemini API for accessing to Google's Gemini generative AI models.
• 🖥️ Svelte for building interactive user interfaces.
• 📝 TypeScript for improving JavaScript code reliability and developer efficiency.
• 🎨 TailwindCSS for styling components with utility-first CSS.
• 🚀 Vite for fast development and optimized production builds.
• Hosted on 🌍 AWS S3 and distributed globally via ☁️ AWS CloudFront for high availability and scalability.
• 📦 SAM CLI for deploying serverless applications.

Build Process 🏗️

The build process for my personal website involves the following steps:

1. Development Environment Setup: Use Docker for consistent environment setup across different machines. GitHub Actions can be integrated for automation.
2. Code Compilation: Utilize Rust for server-side code and Zig/Emscripten along with Svelte/TypeScript for client-side code.
3. Optimization: Optimize compiled assets for production using Binaryen and Vite to ensure minimal file sizes and optimal performance.
4. Deployment: Deploy optimized assets to AWS S3 and configure CloudFront for global content distribution using SAM CLI.
