Hi I'm Eric and welcome to my personal website. I got started in my career building web applications in Django & JQuery and been able to see the evolution of the web and the increased of SPA libraries like Angular, React, Vue and more. In addition to that it's been great to see new HTML5 technologies become available in major browsers which is how this particular personal site got started.


More recently I've been a "part-time" developer for a number of years because of my manager duties. Since I am no longer a developer individual contributor it is important to stay on top of the new trends and keep my skills sharp. This originally started off as a playground for WebGL but quickly grew as I realized that some tooling did not exist for small things like skybox image breakdowns. I seized the opportunity to create my own personal site and add this tooling as separate pages.
This personal site is hosted for free on Netlify and encrypted with LetsEncrypt. It is built with the following technologies:
- Preact - view rendering library similar to React
- Babylon.JS - framework built on top of WebGL for 3D rendering
- TailwindCSS - utility css library (good for prototyping quickly)
- Parcel - zero config asset bundler
- Typescript - static typing language on top of javascript
