Hi!
My name is Vera, welcome to my website. I've created this place primarily as an exercise for myself;
I'm a software girl by trade, but it's not often I get to mess around in the web world without an enterprise framework.
In the spirit of getting back to basics, and because I enjoy the challenge, I'm doing this as barebones as I can.
No lights, no motorcars, not a single luxury. Just HTML, CSS, and JS, like God intended. Plus, the retro vibe is fun!
I'm also going to be putting any side projects I do up here. And not just code - I'll probably also be uploading music
and pictures and DND stuff. I do occasionally commission art, that will likely end up here as well. Maybe a blog?
I was inspired to put this together in no small part by my friend Stan and his badass website, coyo.tl .
It rocks, check it out! ^^
