About this site
Welcome to my home on the internet. This site functions as a blog/portfolio, a place to share code and thoughts. Opinions are my own.
I learnt how to build this site from the most awesome people in the community:
- Timothy's Next.js and Tailwind CSS template: Template starter where I bootstrapped the project.
- Einar Guðjónsson: Now page, navigation style, animations and much more.
