My website is the culmination of all my knowledge, compiled into 1 place. It not only contains all my projects, but it in itself is a project. Making sure this website works properly is a tall order, especially considering it's self hosted. My website is the culmination of all my knowledge, compiled into 1 place.

The site is primarily powered by <a href="">Pelican</a>, a static site generator. This converts markdown and HTML templates into static HTML files. The templates are generated using <a href="">Jinja2</a>, a templating language similar to <a href="">Django</a>'s. This allows me to write nice clean, <i>DRY</i> content, and have it come out as clean HTML. The site is primarily powered by <a href="http://getpelican.com">Pelican</a>, a static site generator.

The static files are served using a <a href="">custom Express server</a>, which allows me to auto-deploy the site from my <a href="">CI</a>. This is then served using a custom, closed-source reverse proxy, which makes local development and domain switching much easier. This is pointed to by <a href="">NGINX</a>, which actually serves port 80.
