📄 Resume PDF

• The resume PDF is embedded in the left rail of the interface and available for download via a static link (/eduardo-monroy-resume.pdf).

• This file should be placed in the frontend/public/ directory so that it's served efficiently as a static asset.

• Static files are cached and served by the hosting provider (e.g., Vercel/Netlify), ensuring fast delivery and minimal server load — even during high traffic.

---

📦 Deployment

You can deploy the app easily with:

• Frontend: Vercel or Netlify
• Backend: Render, Railway, or Fly.io

Make sure to update REACT_APP_BACKEND_URL in the frontend environment variables to match your deployed backend.
