MyWebsite

Everything for my website and blueprints.

Personal portfolio site of Marcus Hauen-Limkilde, a Computer Science student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo working on embedded systems, wearables, and software projects.

Live at https://mkbhl.com (also www.mkbhl.com).

Status: in progress. Domain and hosting are live. Features and user stories are being written as GitHub Issues before the pages are built.

What it is

A hand-built static website: plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. No framework, no build step, no database, no backend. Built by hand on purpose, to learn how the web works and to own every file.

Site map (blueprint)

Page	Contents
Game	A small playable browser game (2 levels)
Experience & Education	Education (schooling, certificates) and jobs
Projects	Favorite / most notable projects, then all projects grouped by difficulty. Each project links to its own detail page
Project detail pages	What it is, how it was built, what was hard, what I learned, photos
About	About me, plus links to LinkedIn, Instagram, GitHub, and email

The full list of features and user stories lives in this repo’s Issues.

Workflow

Every change follows the same loop, even though this is a small project:

User story written as an Issue, with acceptance criteria
Tasks broken out as sub-issues
Feature branch off main (never commit straight to main)
Code, then check it locally
Pull request that links its story and tasks
Self-review, then merge

Branch names: feature/<short-name>, fix/<short-name>, docs/<short-name>.

Run it locally

No install needed. From the repo folder:

python3 -m http.server 8000

Then open http://localhost:8000.

Deploy

Merging into main deploys automatically through GitHub Pages, usually within a minute or two.

Hosting

Piece	Service
Domain `mkbhl.com`	Cloudflare Registrar
DNS	Cloudflare (records set to “DNS only”)
Hosting + HTTPS	GitHub Pages, deployed from `main`, `/ (root)`

The domain is verified on GitHub so no other account can publish to it. The domain does not send or receive email.

Security notes

Static site: no server code, database, logins, or forms, so very little attack surface.
This repo is public. Never commit passwords, API keys, tokens, or personal documents (for example a resume with a phone number or address). Git history is public too.
Strip location data (EXIF) from photos before committing them.
Third-party code, assets, or games are only added if their license allows it, and are credited.
