2001. v1 of this site.
2001-2022. Various updates.
2023: This rebuild starts.
Well, yeah.
I've been a web developer for a long time. Like, I got started on Gopher and the first web page I built was for Netscape Navigator. It had an image. I was very proud.
Then I spent a decade or two doing doing Web Development eventually working my way to to Lead Front-end Developer at ETS with strong focus on standards, #a11y, and usability. Sadly we get to 2023 and my role is getting outsourced. It was fun while it lasted.
As part of that process I've been told having a "portfolio site" would be a Good Thing. So I'm using my time to build out something for the world to see and as a place where I can do a better job of brain dumping all the nifty tricks 2+ decades of front-end coding has taught me.
We're going to work through building out a site using:
-
Gatsby v5
Versions 3 and 4 were spiffy but I've not had a chance to do anything with v5 until now. With all the under the hood changes (Helmet, I'm looking at you...) it should be fun.
It does, doesn't it?!
