@literary Well the priority really is to decide whether you want to have a web-based format (i.e. written in HTML and CSS) or present it as a PDF/physical portfolio. IIRC your work is mostly text without fancy typography or graphics, in which case either would work; perhaps going down the PDF route would give a tiny bit more flexibility with font choices and a more predictable layout (avoiding the issues with fluid(?) layouts).
Whichever you choose, I think pandoc will save you if you decide to convert. I haven't tried .tex to .html conversion but it is the holy grail of document converters.
LaTeX is by no means easy to learn — thousands of packages (options) to explore — but a preamble can be written in an hour or so (obviously this depends on your requirements) and I'm happy to help. The learning curve is basically only in writing the preamble (which serves as the "template" for the entire document), and a lot of the packages were written for academic purposes so you won't need to worry about them.
