A simple resume/CV that uses HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Files are uploaded to an AWS S3 bucket that I configured for static website hosting, with public access. I used AWS Route 53 for a custom domain. Finally, set up an SSL/TLS certificate with AWS Certificate Manager, and then created a CloudFront distribution (that points to S3) where I applied the certificate.
