Personal Website
Published:
This website is the project I keep coming back to. It is part home page, part notebook, and part experiment in owning my corner of the web instead of keeping everything on a hosted platform.
What it is
A personal website built with Jekyll, customized from the Academic Pages and Minimal Mistakes theme lineage, and hosted on GitHub Pages with a custom domain.
Why I made it
The previous version of my site lived on Tumblr. I wanted something more independent, easier to archive, and easier to shape around my own profile, writing, CV, and side projects.
What I learned
- How Jekyll collections, layouts, includes, and front matter fit together.
- How much small design and SEO work goes into making a personal site feel finished.
- How to keep a static website maintainable without turning it into a large application.
