Welcome to the repository for my personal portfolio website. This portfolio showcases my skills, projects, and professional journey.

This project is built using a powerful stack of technologies for web development:

• Next.js: A React framework for production.
• TypeScript: A typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.
• Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework for creating custom designs.
• Deno: A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript, used for serverless functions.
• Resend: A modern email API for sending transactional emails.

• Portfolio Showcase: A curated selection of my projects and contributions, highlighting my skills in web development, design, and other areas of expertise.
• Contact Form: An easy way for visitors to leave messages or inquiries, directly integrated into my email using Resend.
• Automated Email Notifications: Automated responses to contact form submissions using Resend, ensuring that every message is acknowledged and I'm promptly notified.

• Improved User Interaction: Immediate feedback to users upon submitting the contact form, enhancing the overall user experience.
• Upgraded Email Functionality: Implemented Resend for more reliable and efficient email handling.

To run this project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rlajous/website.git
   cd website

2. Set up the correct Node.js version: If you have nvm (Node Version Manager) installed, run:

   nvm use

   If you don't have nvm, make sure you're using the Node.js version specified in the .nvmrc file.

3. Copy the environment template:

   cp .env.template .env.local

4. Update the variables in .env.local with your own configuration. You'll need to sign up for a Resend account to get an API key.

5. Install dependencies:

   npm install

6. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

The site should now be running on https://localhost:3000

This site is configured for deployment on Vercel, leveraging its seamless integration with GitHub for CI/CD. To deploy your version:

1. Fork this repository.
2. Connect your fork to Vercel.
3. Set up environment variables (including your Resend API key) in Vercel's project settings.
