This is the repo for my personal website.
I am on a neverending vision quest to make this website good as heck. I have rewritten and redesigned it several times:
- Initially built with a simple, custom, Jekyll-like HTML builder
- Initially with Grunt
- Rebuilt pipeline with Webpack, content authored in Pug
- Rewrote with Jekyll and Bootstrap
- Replaced Bootstrap with Bulma
- Replaced Bulma with Tailwind
- Ported from Jekyll to Gatsby
- ...and I'll probably do it again.
This is a Gatsby website. Tailwind is used as the backbone for styling.
Work in Visual Studio Code with the following plugins:

- I wrote a
RuntimeScriptcomponent which properly removes the script component when the component unmounts on a page change. This isn't enough to remove currently executing JS, though. For that, I'd need to rewrite my runtime-loaded scripts so that I can explicitly release the loaded JS, but even then, that doesn't help for third-party dependencies. To avoid this issue and prevent memory leaks (as it were), I'm just going to leave prefetching off completely.
- I wrote a
- The resume repo automatically builds and commits the files into this repo when a commit is pushed. Make sure if you change the location of the PDF and HTML files that you also update the resume repo's workflow file.
