About

About me? About this site? About what exactly? I'll go with the site. There is plenty about me on here already.

The site is built with GatsbyJS, ReactJS, and hosted on Firebase. It's my first foray into React and anything with a static site generator. I wanted to give this kind of setup a shot. So far, so good. I'd say I'll update a little with my experience, but I doubt I will. Feel free to contact me though if you have a question.
