Welcome to computablee.dev!

I have been thinking about what I wanted a personal website to look like for months at this point. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and have flirted with the idea on several occasions through services like GitHub Sites or a blog on LinkedIn. I’ve always abandoned the concept shortly after, however, because it’s not exactly what I’m looking for. Hopefully this one sticks.

The first inspiration I had was seeing Oskar Wickström’s The Monospace Web. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on this design that if I ever made a personal website, that is the design I was going with. As of April 7, 2026 (approximately 2 days after computablee.dev went live for the first time), I have been using Oskar’s HTML and CSS to design my website.

I am not a web developer. I have worked in many things throughout college, graduate school, and industry, including high-performance computing, compilers, software assurance, formal methods, GPU programming, AI/ML, and more. Web development is one of the things I have the least amount of experience in. With that said, there are no “frameworks” I am using. You will not find React, Vue, JQuery, or any of that bloatware on this website. There is a touch of JavaScript, but for the most part, this is a static site with some HTML/CSS that I borrowed from someone else. Hell, if you look at the Codeberg repository for this website, you will find that this site is built from a collection of Markdown files using Pandoc into a set of static HTML files. I like Markdown, and I will keep going with this approach for as long as possible.

Being a static site hosted on Codeberg pages has its perks. For one, updating the site is as simple as running git push in my terminal. I bought the domain for $30 from Squarespace and spent an hour configuring DNS to point to Codeberg. This approach has been awesome, because I can treat the site as a bunch of nicely rendered Markdown in a Git repository, because that is exactly what it is. As a non-web developer, it makes it a whole lot easier to do things to the site.

You can expect a lot more stuff to get added to the site over the coming weeks. I’m getting Griffin from Headphones.com (“Listener”) to proofread my stuff over at /audio. I also plan on adding some pages on speedcubing and speedrunning, two other hobbies I’m into.

Hopefully you enjoy!
