📝 Building a Resume with HTML & CSS and Sharing It on GitLab

Today I created a beautiful and responsive resume using HTML and CSS, and I’m excited to share that I also pushed it to GitLab! This small project helped me practice frontend development while building something useful for my career.

💡 Project Objective

To design a simple resume using only HTML and CSS, structure the content professionally, and upload it to GitLab for sharing and version control.

💻 Technologies Used

  • HTML5 – for creating the structure of the resume
  • CSS3 – for styling and layout
  • Git & GitLab – for version control and hosting
