Okay, so, considering how much I love this kind of development, it’s kind of embarrassing that I had no idea that it was a thing. Watching this talk by Chris Coyier is what made me aware of it. Since then I’ve taken every chance possible to ditch back end development and build websites using the JAMstack.

So far I’ve used static site generator Eleventy for a project at work. I also didn’t even realize that I was familiar with a great tool to push static websites live: Surge. Most recently I’m rebuilding my portfolio (this blog right here!!!) using Hexo.

If you’re interested in learning more about serverless web development, Power of Serverless is my go-to resource.

The Fusion Digital B2C team was tasked with completeley rebuilding the Goose Island Website and I was the lead developer. A very short timeline that spanned the holidays made this project especially challenging but also a lot of fun.

The design on this website features lots of tasteful negative space, large graphics, and a theme-changing Easter egg.

This project was completed mid January 2019.
