One option would be to lean into a "lack" of design - just put your name and maybe a table of contents (with links [1]) at the top, all the stuff you want in a big list, set `max-width: 60em` or something to keep it readable on wide monitors, and call it a day. Basically a big markdown document (you could even literally convert markdown to HTML).
This wouldn't fly for a designer or frontend specialist of course, but for developers working in other areas I think it works pretty well. Certainly HN appreciates a simple website.
Also, as others have said I wouldn't sweat the portfolio too much. I personally _have_ always had one, but I'm not sure it's ever helped me - I don't recall an interviewer ever mentioning it or any of its contents (same goes for GitHub/similar).
