three -- I was working full time as a software engineer for the year before that. I also had two internships before that which I don't list.

Career-wise I'm a mostly backend software engineer whose done some data science-y stuff. Just think its fun to build sites like this, and I do a lot of speaking/blogging now, so its good for that!

Thanks!

Github pages is awesome, I would only do Jekyll if you want to host a blog though, otherwise its overkill.

Thanks! I (at the time I wrote it) didn't focus on making it Safari compatible, but I really should go back to that!

You could do two tabs, I have the tab for speaking and the tab for projects -- you could do a design tab and a code tab!

I have it mostly for speaking and blogging purposes; however, I get a pretty decent stream of people reaching out to me over it which would be really cool if I were looking for a job! I think it also really helps candidates stand out.

I like it -- I would make the font a little bit bigger so it's easier to read. I just did a few tweaks on it https://imgur.com/a/OfFruwF and I think its a little easier to read -- just changed font to "sans-serif" increased line height and font size to 1.25rem.

It's the ordering! I would put Blog first, and change this to a two-row layout. The first row with internal links, the second row with icons of your social sites.

Most of my career has actually been on the backend! Just keep the site simple!

Ah weird -- it's working for me. It was definitely an hour and a half long "I'm using a queue data structure in real life" experiment. Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah -- mine is more for speaking and blogging instead of looking for jobs. Though, I do get approached by companies all the time because of my portfolio. Definitely not necessary, but it can be really helpful as well.
