This Very Website!

This website is a place to discover the most import things about me. I wanted to make something that was better than a linkedin page or a resumé. I wanted a place that anyone could visit to instantly contact me or see what I was up to. This was also a great way to hone my frontend skills.

I'm constantly working on this site to keep it up to date for everyone. I know, everyone has their own personal websites now. But do their website urls perfectly spell out their name? I think not!

Skills: vuejs

Technologies Used

Front end:

• VueJs: I wanted to use VueJS because I was learning it at the time. I also used it at aerserv. It's one of the most fun uses of javascript I've ever encountered. Vue CLI helped save a boatload of time in boilerplate setup code.
• Gridsome: Gridsome is a static website generator that creates blazing fast websites. It's comparable to Gatsby or Next or Nuxt. I chose it because it allowed me to use vuejs, which i like.

Back end:

• There is no backend! Everything on the site is statically hosted (that's why it's so fast :zap: )

Infrastructure:

• Netlify: netlify is a way to wire up a git repo to a website domain name. All I have to do is git push and my website updates automatically! What a time to be alive.
