About me

Colophon

This website is set in Mona Sans, IBM Plex Mono, and Newsreader typefaces. It's built with Next.js and Tailwind and hosted on Vercel. You can view the source code on my GitHub if you are so inclined.

My sincerest thanks to the thousands of open-source contributors who made this site possible, and the corporate largesse of Meta, GitHub, Vercel, and many more.
