This website was created for the purpose of having a website that I could use to showcase myself. However it was also created as a learning experience. I hadn't touched HTML, CSS, or JavaScript ever at this point, and didn't want to use a website builder, or some pre-built template, or anything else that would take the learning experience away from me. So I decided to build it from scratch on Jekyll. No theme, no template, no nothing. I like to think it looks decent, but it's no polished shiny template. Maybe one day when I'm a lot more familiar with web development I'll come back and truly showcase what I can do. But for now, this'll do.
For an example of something I've done that is a lot more sophisticated, check out Kakusui.org. That's a website I built for my company, and it's a lot more polished and professional. But that's because I had a lot more experience when I built that. It uses vite, react, tailwind, and a lot of other cool stuff. This website is just a simple Jekyll website.
Source code for that website can be found here.
