I started building this website about 6 months ago back in June, 2023—as I was starting a migration process for my current company, SeekOut and wanted to play around with NextJS, Framer Motion, Contentful, and other tools I was looking at using for the project.

I started building a quick blog with content models, adding in projects for things like this post, and other pages for About sections, and a homepage. Contentful allows me to create structured content that supports these content types for robust and rich content. Contentful provides a more-than-generous free tier for projects like this, where I can build and vend out images and content all for free on their platform. The next tiers up are a fair bit expensive, but definitely geared for the business and enterprise experiences.

Overall, it's a place I hope to maintain going into 2024 and keep updated with my latest projects (I recently got a 3D printer and am renovating a room in my house), musing on the blog, and add to it and refine it as the years go on.
