Rust-based Portfolio: The Zola Approach

Every backend engineer knows the importance of choosing the right tools for building the ideal architecture of a portfolio site. It is often a challenging task, considering the vast range of options available in the market. For me, as a Rust developer, I have had my fair share of evaluation and analysis. My path started from the static site generator 11ty and ended with the Zola project, a static site generator built in Rust. Given my proficiency in Rust, it was almost a no-brainer to choose Zola for my portfolio. This site started with using the Ataraxia theme with additional customizations as needed.
