Hello world, and welcome.
Why this site exists
I wanted a place that, not only served as a sort of portfolio - a place to host my resume and showcase my skills - but also to learn by building, and documenting those proccess along the way. This website being the first of many.
What’s behind the magic
For better or for worse, it seems to be in my nature to overanalyze before acting. That over-analysis lead to the choosing of the following tools and services:
Hugo, static site generator
- Dead simple after inital setup, adding new posts is a breeze.
- Security: the static nature avoids vulnerabilties such as XSS or SQL injection.
CLoudflare Pages
- Zero cost for static sites
- Secure by default, offers free SSL and HTTPS
- Global CDN allows for snappy loadtimes worldwide
- Dev friendly, I push changes to github and the site auto-updates like magic.
What’s coming?
- Deep dives into concepts I’m learning
- Project breakdowns
- General blog posts
