Things I’ve Built

CV Website

June 2026

Developed a responsive web application that transforms a traditional PDF CV into an interactive personal portfolio website. The project involved extracting and organising information from a PDF resume, including personal details, education, work experience, technical skills, and projects, before presenting the data through a modern, user-friendly interface. The website was designed to improve accessibility and user engagement by providing a dynamic alternative to a static PDF document. Features include responsive design for desktop and mobile devices, structured navigation, downloadable CV functionality, project showcases, and contact information.
