How this site was built & the decisions behind it.
I'm a better dev than designer, so I tend to err on the side of simplicity. I like when things are straight forward and easily understood. That being said, I try to break this portfolio as often as I can by trying new technologies and patterns, and staying aligned with best practices in the ecosystem. I would encourage anyone with a personal portfolio to do the same.
This site uses the Inter typeface because it looks great and is less for me to worry about.
