🔁 GitHub Actions workflow code: ci-cd.yaml.
Two Node.js scripts use Puppeteer to generate assets:
-
generate-resume-pdf.js: Runs during the
buildjob and isolates the resume HTML and converts it to PDF. This ensures the PDF automatically stays in sync with any resume updates. -
generate-lighthouse-score-img.js: Runs during the
lighthousejob and generates an image of the last Lighthouse report score (see below). This means the score image is updated automatically on every deployment.
🔒 Security (DevSecOps):
- Betterleak secret scanner as a pre-commit to prevent leaking any secrets to the GitHub repository.
- Renovate bot to scan the repository to keep all dependencies updated via automated pull requests.
Lighthouse is Google's website quality analysis tool.
