Site Credits
The site was originally built with Jekyll using the Minimal Mistakes theme. It has recently been rewritten in Hugo with a custom theme built by myself but heavily inspired by the Minimal Mistakes theme. The site code and contents are hosted on GitHub, and the site itself is hosted by Vercel. Images are either my own, or have been sourced from the amazing photographers at Unsplash. My thanks to all of the generous folks who donate their time, energy and talents to all these great projects.
