My personal site (this site of course). This site has been updated twice in the last year.

I first updated it in early 2017. This included a custom design and a home-brew gulp static site builder. It was built in a hurry and while serviceable I was never that happy with it.

So I recently built it anew.

Web design is not my core skill so I used a template from HTML5UP as a starting point. My home-brew static site builder was replaced with react-static. Super simple to use and creates blazingly fast sites.

The site itself is built with ReactJS. The most frequently modified content is served up by Prismic Headless CMS. This content is fetched at build time and used by react-static to generate the static files for hosting.
