Here in my corner of the interwebs, you'll find some neat (at least I think it's neat) content, based on both my work and random posts. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discuss opportunities, or simply say "hi".

I like to actively browse GitHub, mainly to star repos and expand my knowledge. The world of open source is fantastic (well, most times), and I've contributed upstream to a few repos such as mozilla/multi-account-containers, go-gitea/gitea, and EclipseFdn/open-vsx.org. I've also got some popular repos myself.

Thanks for dropping by, and please poke around. Be sure to check the , and customize the site design before you start exploring. Enjoy!

About this Site

It's built on top of Astro, which is a fast, component-based framework that is React-compatible, providing static generation and automated bundling (and plenty more). It's a content-driven website, where my articles live in either a work/ or posts/ folder, and are composed with Markdown (or MDX).

This website is also accessible , respecting animation/motion preferences, screen-reader assists, etc.. A11y is always an important aspect of front-end development for me, and I strive to ensure any interface I build can be used by everyone.

I also publish an RSS feed if you'd like to be kept in the loop.

Fun Fact: I use CSS custom properties to actively modify the colour theme that you can switch via . I then store your preferences locally (no cookies!), using the browser's localStorage functionality.
