I'm Erik and I'm a Computer Science and Physics new grad from the University of British Columbia with software engineering experience as an intern at 3 different companies.
This repository is my website and officialy it suplements my resume, but I've been really excited to do this for awhile so I'm excited to see where I push this.
I find it helpful to document things that I've found difficult when I start new projects so that when I do this again I don't get stuck on the same things. Here is an incomplete list of things that caught me off gaurd.
_config.yml
file. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to using this to specify variables for each page that I'll use to improve the clarity and feel of the site (check out this repo's issues for what my plans are). _includes
and _layouts
came into existence. .svg
images and while some seem to work, any image with this extension that I created on Photoshop would not work when included on my site. These images open up like normal in a browser and this only applies to ones I've created through Photoshop, even those that previously worked that I ran through Photoshop. The solution online seems to be to use a .png
to .svg
conversion tool but this degrades the quality too much it seems to be useful. At the moment I've decided to postpone this problem for higher priority issues.
