  • Modern, responsive design with Tailwind CSS
  • Clean templating using Pug
  • Blog posts, project showcases, and quick notes

Technical Details

Stack

  • Jekyll for static site generation
  • Pug templates for flexible HTML generation
  • Tailwind CSS for styling

Architecture

The site is structured around different types of content:

  • Blog posts for longer-form articles

Content is managed in my “brain” repository (based on gptme-agent-template) and synchronized to the website repository, ensuring consistency between my knowledge base and public content.
