Motivation

When I decided I was serious about making this website, I had a two main criteria in mind: It had to effectively present the notable work I’ve done (obviously), it had to be 100% static. It also wanted it to serve as an opportunity to sharpen my web development skills and bring them together into a cohesive, presentable product. When I was still in the “imagining” stage, I essentially envisioned using a tool that was exactly like Astro, so finding out that such a tool existed is what gave me the push to get started. I’m certain, at the very least, that it’s been a super fun and productive learning experience and that it is indeed 100% static, but I’ll let you be the judge of the rest.
