Project overview
The context behindthe final result.
A closer look at the goals, decisions, and technical thinking that shaped the project.
The application turns a structured Word document into reusable portfolio data rather than requiring users to manually rebuild the same information in a website editor.
A React workflow guides the user from upload through review, theme selection, preview, and export while the ASP.NET Core backend handles document parsing and generation.
Key features
What the projectneeded to accomplish.
Core capabilities delivered for Portfolio Generator.
Guided upload workflow
A multi-step React interface helps users upload a document, review extracted data, and select a theme.
Isolated live preview
Generated templates render inside an iframe so their styles remain isolated from the application shell.
Dynamic theme system
Multiple layouts can consume the same structured resume data without duplicating content.
Local service orchestration
.NET Aspire coordinates application services, endpoints, and configuration during development.
Automated deployment
GitHub Actions builds and deploys the application to Azure App Service.
Application workflow
From resume to portfolio website
The user uploads a structured resume, reviews the parsed data, selects a presentation theme, previews the result, and exports the completed site.

Technical highlights
The systems behindthe interface.
Selected architectural and implementation decisions that shaped the project.
ASP.NET Core
Minimal API endpoints handle uploads, document parsing, and structured response data.
React and TypeScript
The frontend coordinates upload, review, theme selection, preview, and export.
Open XML
DocumentFormat.OpenXml reads structured content from Microsoft Word files.
Theme engine
Layout templates remain separate from resume data, allowing multiple presentations from one source.
.NET Aspire
Aspire simplifies local orchestration and configuration across application services.
GitHub Actions
CI/CD workflows build the frontend and backend and deploy the application to Azure.
Challenges
The difficult partsshaped the better decisions.
The constraints and implementation problems that required the most thought.
Reading Word documents
Resume documents needed to be interpreted consistently and converted into predictable structured data.
Isolating generated themes
Generated website styles had to be previewed without leaking into or breaking the application interface.
Coordinating multiple services
The React frontend, ASP.NET Core backend, and deployment workflow required consistent endpoint and configuration management.
Future direction
Still evolving.Still worth refining.
