This is the my personal portfolio website. I've spent countless hours developing this site and pushed myself beyond my skills to add aspects that, while they may not be the most noticeable, were important to me and ended up in my toolbox (who knew tool-tips were such a pain?). I developed it with a11y in mind and from a mobile-first standpoint. This is the second version of my portfolio, and the fourth iteration of this version. As I learned more working on other projects and studying, I came back and incorporated that knowledge into this site. As a result, I've been able to cut out well over a thousand lines of code and ended up with much cleaner and readable code. It may not the the flashiest website of a developer, but it scores well with Lighthouse (Google analytics dings the score, as always) and loads quickly, two more important factors to me.
