I'm not being facetious, but this "yet another static site generator" joins the list with 230+ other generators.

SEEKING WORK - Vancouver, BC, Canada. Remote or on-site.
I'm a full-stack web application developer in the BC lower mainland. I do contract agency work as well as my own client work. Always looking for new opportunities to work with new people and improve my skillset. Technologies I'm most comfortable with:
- HTML5/CSS/Javascript - Very fluent with Backbone.js
and single page app architectures
- PHP5+/CakePHP/Laravel Frameworks
- Python: Django
- Mysql, mongodb, redis
- Linux, Debian
