And this is my website. It should contain all the information you need to know about me. If not, there's a link at the bottom to contact me and I will answer to any reasonable request.
I'm a software engineer with a passion for problem solving and creating useful software. I enjoy learning new technologies and continually improving and growing in all areas of life and work.
Yes, yes it does. Because it is a site with a simple purpose: conveying information. This site isn't built on the latest frameworks or come bundled with 100mb of javascript dependencies with hidden vulnerabilities that I have to update every 2 weeks. It's an html file with some css stylesheets. It's deployed on github pages. Because that's what the site requires.
Sure, I can make products using all that stuff, deployed on Vercel or AWS with serverless workers and a ton of animations. Any number of the products I've worked on over the last 10 years could attest to that. But a skill I hold very dearly is my ability to know what a product actually needs and to ship what works rather than what looks good on a resumé.
Shhhhhh don't ruin it. Yeah kinda. Not really though. My actual resumé is here.
Point taken though. I can admit when I'm wrong. See, another skill!
Stuff I'm keeping an eye on:
I love to run outdoors with my friends, and frequently like to go on hikes and look at birds. Majestic little creatures. I'm also a big fan of movies and you can find me there more often than not.
I also occasionally do some voice acting. You can find more about that at a slightly more flashy but similarly simple site here (this one does use Next.js, told you I could).
If this hasn't covered everything and you need to get in touch with me, feel free to email me at taylorwilhite@gmail.com.
