So, I’ve published my website! I spent a couple of months working on this alongside studying for my exams, coding it from scratch in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Its purpose is to be simultaneously an interactive CV/Resume and a demonstration of my web development skills, everything you see coded and styled by me. At the time of writing, I have not added all the information I would like to (Such as an employment section, more coding projects, and a demonstration of my language skills) but I will be adding more content in future! It is open source, so feel free to browse the source code! My coding projects are located on the projects page, and the link to the git repos of all that I can share the source code of will be in there. Check it out:
