Karan Homayounfar — Personal Portfolio

This repo contains the source for my personal portfolio site.
I built it with Quarto because I wanted something clean, lightweight, and easy to maintain, while still giving me full control over the layout and styling.

The site includes my projects, a bit about me, and ways to get in touch.
It’s intentionally simple — fast to load, easy to navigate, and focused on the content.

What’s inside

The site is made up of a few Quarto pages:

• index.qmd — the homepage
• about.qmd — who I am and what I do
• projects.qmd — a selection of my work
• contact.qmd — how to reach me

Styling is handled through styles.css, and Quarto handles the build process automatically.

Everything gets rendered into the docs/ folder, which GitHub Pages uses to publish the site.

Tech I used

• Quarto for generating the site
• Markdown / QMD for content
• CSS for styling
• GitHub Pages for hosting

No JavaScript or frameworks — just a clean static site.

Working on it locally

If you want to run the site yourself:

1. Install Quarto: https://quarto.org
2. In the project folder, run:

quarto preview

This starts a local server and updates automatically when you edit files.

To build the site manually:

quarto render

The output goes into the docs/ folder.
