This website

I have had the idea to create a portfolio website under my own name for years and am currently making my vision a reality. For interviews I have always been the type to carry around a portfolio file to provide a visual look into my work and a website allows me to do this from anywhere.

Although I have zero experience in website development, html, or markdown, my experience with Python, MATLAB, VBA, and C+ give me good fundamentals. Additionally, being resourceful when tackling problems and being willing to read through documentation (thank you Minimal Mistakes), makes things a lot more manageable.

I have implemented a static site development and deployement pipeline using Ruby, Bundler, and Jekyll. I have local development environment with live reload that allows me to monitor adjustments to the website in real time to support rapid development. Once I am happy with some changes, I push the update to Git which handles my versioning control and deployement.

In parallel, I am developing a guide that documents my workflow, all of the tools I have used, and adjustments that I have made to the repository, which I will post here once finished. This will not only support myself in future development, but I have already been asked by colleagues to help them with similar sites for themselves.
