Personal website showcasing my experiences and projects. (2014 - present)

Code

I built this personal website from scratch to showcase my experiences and projects, with an emphasis on modern web practices, simple design, and high performance with minimal dependencies.

In February 2014, at age 17, I taught myself web development and launched the original version of my personal website with the Bootstrap framework. In March 2016, I moved the website to a WordPress back-end to facilitate easier additions of content, but I wasn't happy with the performance impact.

In April 2017, I redeveloped my website from scratch to what you see today: pure static HTML and CSS with high performance and minimal dependencies. I continue to make updates whenever I see opportunities for performance gains or new modern practices.
