Automated Technical Portfolio

Modern, self-updating technical portfolio showcasing expertise in Python development, system architecture, and open-source contributions.

Python GitHub Actions Jinja2 Static Site Automated Zero Cost

GitHub Live Site

smartlegionlab.github.io — modern, self-updating technical portfolio showcasing expertise in Python development, system architecture, and open-source contributions.

This isn't just a static site — it's a fully automated ecosystem that fetches live data and builds itself daily.

How It Works:

1. Every day at midnight UTC, GitHub Actions wakes up
2. Fetches live data from GitHub, PyPI, Dev.to & Zenodo APIs
3. Generates 60+ HTML pages in a temporary directory
4. Creates fresh sitemap.xml with all URLs
5. If ALL pages generate successfully — replaces old site atomically
6. If ANY error occurs — keeps old site untouched
7. Deploys to GitHub Pages automatically

Key Features:

Fully Automated — GitHub Actions cron job runs daily
Dynamic Content — Fetches live data from GitHub, PyPI, Dev.to & Zenodo APIs
Atomic Deployment — Generates all pages in temp directory first
Auto Sitemap — Dynamically includes all pages
Zero Cost — Hosted on GitHub Pages
Secure — No database, no backend, static = unhackable

Component	Count
Repository Pages	65+ (and growing)
Package Pages	25+ PyPI packages
Ecosystem Pages	7 dedicated ecosystem pages
Research Pages	4 paradigm publications + tech report
Static Pages	11 core pages
Updates	Daily automatic
Hosting Cost	$0 (only domain)

Frontend — The User Experience:

HTML5 — Semantic, accessible markup
CSS3 — Custom properties, keyframe animations, responsive design
Bootstrap 5 — Robust grid system and pre-built components
Bootstrap Icons — Consistent, lightweight icon set
Vanilla JavaScript (ES6+) — No bloat, modular classes

Build System & Automation — The Engine:

GitHub Actions — Cron job that runs the entire show daily
Python 3.8+ — Core language for all build scripts
Jinja2 — Templating engine for 70+ detail pages
BeautifulSoup4 — Parses and updates main HTML files
Requests — Fetches data from GitHub, PyPI, Dev.to, Zenodo APIs
Markdown — Converts PyPI descriptions to HTML
Pygments — Syntax highlighting for code blocks

Data Sources:

Source	API Endpoint	Data Fetched
GitHub	`api.github.com/users/smartlegionlab/repos`	Repo names, descriptions, stars, forks, languages, topics, dates
PyPI	`pypi.org/pypi/{package_name}/json`	Version, summary, full description, project URLs
Dev.to	`dev.to/api/articles?username=smartlegionlab`	Titles, descriptions, tags, reactions, comments, reading time
Zenodo	`zenodo.org/api/records/{record_id}`	Views and downloads statistics for research publications
