Yiming's Personal Portfolio Website

Hello, welcome to my personal portfolio website repository!

I am Yiming, currently working as a senior software engineer at WetaFx Ltd.

You might have seen my old home page built about 7 years ago, which is clearly much outdated, so I am currently working on rebuilding this new page with modern web technologies.

2. Source: Select "GitHub Actions" as the source (NOT "Deploy from a branch")
3. Branch: The workflow will automatically deploy from the master branch
4. URL: Your site will be available at https://yimingpeng.github.io

Automatic Deployment

The site will automatically build and deploy when you:

• Push changes to the master branch
• The GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) will handle the build and deployment process

Manual Deployment

You can also trigger a manual deployment from the GitHub Actions tab in your repository.
