I'm not a web designer by trade. I did recently decide to launch a personal website after dragging my feet for many years:

I only have one blog post, it's effectively a host for my resume and there's a lot of work to do to make it nicer. For one, while I'm trying to convey an aesthetic with the three.js-powered background, it is _not_ performant on some devices. Choosing a SPA architecture in order to keep the background seamless is also biting me in the butt. From an SEO perspective, for example, I can't implement proper OpenGraph metadata on the blog posts since crawlers don't execute JS.

I'm happy though. I'm excited to make it a long-lived shrine.

Nice work! But cv can be designed better;)

  • Thanks. Yeah, it isn't ideal. Originally nearly every item fit on one page but the point size was tiny. When I apply for roles, I prune out irrelevant information, which I can do programmatically since I rebuilt the CV; it's rendered with Typst now vs just being a Word doc. However I think I need to do a fundamental overhaul on how everything is organized. Verdict is out on how I should do that :)
