FirebaseNode.jsCloud Functions

A personal site built with static HTML and a Node.js build script, deployed on Firebase Hosting. A custom CMS backed by Firestore and Cloud Functions enables one-click publish: content is edited in the browser, rendered server-side via the Hosting REST API, and deployed without a local build step.

Architecture

Firebase Hosting — static serving with cleanUrls, custom caching headers, and HSTS
Cloud Functions — publishSite generates all HTML/XML from Firestore content and deploys via the Hosting REST API; getAnalytics proxies GA4 Data API requests
Firestore — stores projects, writing posts, books, bio text, and static file hashes
Admin CMS — Google Sign-In, live editor for all content types, one-click publish button
GA4 Analytics Dashboard — 7-day totals, top pages, device breakdown, rendered in the admin panel
