Frequently asked questions
I've tried to answer some of the questions you may already have. If you have any other questions, perhaps you should contact me.
- What technologies did you use to create this website?
-
To build this website I used the Astro.js framework, connected to Storyblok.com as a headless CMS. The styling was done in TailwindCSS and TailwindUI components were used as the basis for the design. The deployments are done via GitHub Actions, deploying to AWS S3 behind a CloudFront distribution.
- What technologies are you experienced with?
-
My primary web development skillset is in PHP + Laravel, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. However my skills extend well past just development into advanced infrastructure with AWS, Agile team management, technical planning, project management and resource planning.
