Legacy .NET Portfolio
Legacy Personal Portfolio
A personal portfolio website built with C# and ASP.NET Framework 4.8, later updated with automated deployment workflows using GitHub Actions and Azure App Service.

- GitHub Actions
Context & purpose
Project overview
This was my original personal portfolio, built with C# and ASP.NET Framework 4.8 before the current Astro-based version of the site.
Its strongest value came from modernizing the delivery process around an older application by introducing GitHub Actions, repeatable builds, and automated Azure App Service deployment.
The project demonstrates experience maintaining legacy technology while improving the surrounding release workflow instead of requiring a full rewrite first.
From Code Commit to Live Site
Deployment Flow
The project focused on taking a legacy ASP.NET Framework portfolio and connecting it to a more modern deployment process using GitHub Actions and Azure App Service.
- Commit
Push code changes to the GitHub repository.
- Build
GitHub Actions builds and prepares the .NET application.
- Publish
The deployment workflow packages the application output.
- Deploy
Azure App Service receives the published build.
- Live Site
The updated portfolio becomes available online.
- Commit

Application functionality
Key features
ASP.NET Framework Application
Built with C# and ASP.NET Framework 4.8, giving me experience maintaining and deploying a legacy .NET web application.
Automated Deployment
Used GitHub Actions to automate publishing the application to Azure App Service after repository updates.
Azure Hosting
Configured the application for cloud hosting through Azure App Service.
Deployment Modernization
Retrofitted a legacy-style application with a more modern CI/CD workflow.
Portfolio Foundation
Served as the first version of my online portfolio before rebuilding the site with Astro and Tailwind CSS.

CI/CD & deployment
Technical highlights
ASP.NET Framework 4.8
Built and maintained the portfolio as a legacy .NET Framework web application using C#.
GitHub Actions
Configured automated deployment workflows so updates could be published without manual upload steps.
Azure App Service
Hosted the application in Azure and connected the deployment pipeline to the live web app.
Legacy Deployment Workflow
Worked through the differences between deploying modern .NET projects and older .NET Framework applications.
Custom Domain Setup
Connected the hosted portfolio to a custom domain as part of the production deployment process.
Portfolio Migration Path
Used this project as the foundation before later migrating to a modern Astro and Tailwind CSS portfolio.
Problem solving
Challenges & solutions
- Legacy Framework Deployment:Deploying a .NET Framework 4.8 application required a different setup than newer .NET applications, which helped me better understand legacy hosting requirements.
- GitHub Actions Configuration:Setting up the workflow required learning how to build and publish the application correctly from GitHub Actions to Azure App Service.
- Modernizing an Older Project:The project helped me understand how to improve deployment practices around an older codebase without fully rewriting the application.
