My CV & Portfolio

A modern, open-source personal website built with React, TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. It features a portfolio, CV, project gallery, and several developer tools, including a Base64 encode/decode API with a hidden admin key challenge!

Features

• Personal Portfolio: Showcases my projects, skills, and achievements.
• Project Gallery: Highlights various web, desktop, and open-source projects.
• Base64 API: Simple API for encoding/decoding Base64, with rate limiting and a hidden admin key for unlimited access.
• Netlify Functions: Serverless backend for API endpoints.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/devmatei/my-cv.git
   cd my-cv

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Environment Variables:

   • Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your own secrets (if needed).
   • The Base64 API uses ADMIN_API_KEY for unlimited access. If not set, a default is used.

4. Run locally:

   npm run dev

5. Build for production:

   npm run build
   npm run preview

API: Base64 Encode/Decode

See the API documentation.

• Endpoint: /api/base64
• Methods: GET
• Query Parameters:
  • text (string, required): The text to encode or decode
  • action (string, required): encode or decode
• Headers:
  • x-api-key (optional): Use the secret admin key for unlimited requests

Rate Limiting:

• 10 requests per day per IP (unless you have the admin key)

Example Usage

curl "https://devmatei.com/api/base64?action=encode&text=hello"

The not-so-hidden key challenge!

There is a secret API key hidden somewhere in this repository. If you can find it, you can use it as the x-api-key header for unlimited access to the Base64 API. Happy hunting!

Totally not an excuse for me to not do extra work :))

Deployment

• Netlify:
  • Uses netlify.toml for build, redirects, and headers
  • Functions are in netlify/functions/

Tech Stack

• React, TypeScript, Vite
• Tailwind CSS
• Express (for local API)
• Netlify Functions (for serverless API)
