Me
I’m Jeremy Carder. I’m a Canadian IT professional with a passion for efficient systems, problem solving and FOSS software. My current work involves supporting hardware and software in the public sector. In my free time you can catch me drinking black coffee (pure, as it was intended to be), playing guitar and working on my homelab.
This website
History
This website I started in Fall 2022 but I’ve had a personal website since the start of highschool.
I didn’t have much on the website and it really didn’t serve any purpose. I just thought it was cool and a fun project to learn more about the web. This current website’s purpose is three-fold:
- to be a place where people can contact me easily
- to be a place where I can post projects and a portfolio to show my work
- to be a place where I can experiment with new web technologies
In late January 2024, after a spur of the moment decision I decided I wanted to completely redesign the site to have a more minimalist style. This is the current iteration.
Technical
This website uses the Hugo static site generator with my own custom theme (inspired by similar minimalist themes). The site leverages GitLab’s continuous delivery pipeline so as soon as I push my changes it automatically builds the site for production and is in the production environment in about 15 seconds. The only problem with this is you can’t run any dynamic or server-side code, but that is currently not needed.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my piece of the internet, see you around.
