Featured Project

Code Janitor is available on the VS Code Marketplace:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=debanshu2005.code-janitor

Getting Started

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run the local development server:

npm run dev

Open:

https://portfolio-website-ten-weld-98.vercel.app/

The dev script uses webpack because Turbopack was hanging on this Windows scratch workspace.

Resume

The resume download is served from:

public/resume.pdf

Visitors can download it from:

/resume.pdf

To update the resume, replace public/resume.pdf with the latest PDF using the same file name.

Profile Data

GitHub project data refreshes through the GitHub API. LinkedIn-style timeline data is stored locally in:

data/linkedin.json

To update experience, education, certifications, or achievements, run:

npm run profile:update

The command opens an interactive prompt where you can keep, edit, delete, or add entries. It updates lastUpdated automatically when you save.

GitHub API Token

The site can load public GitHub data without a token, but GitHub may return 403 when the local IP hits an unauthenticated rate limit. When that happens, the site falls back to built-in project data so the page still works.

For reliable live updates, add a GitHub token to .env.local:

GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here
GITHUB_USERNAME=Debanshu2005

A fine-grained read-only token for public repositories is enough. For a classic token, public_repo and read:user are enough for this site.

Contact

The contact form opens a Gmail draft addressed to Debanshu, with a mailto: fallback for browsers that block popups or do not use Gmail.
