I love everything about this! I find the opening monologue possibly frustrating, but also tastefully done. I'm not sure.

Overall it's definitely one of the more pleasing portfolios I've seen.

Only thing I'd say for sure: Shrink your images. I think you could save ~90% on most of them by running them through an optimization program. In general, it's not the most economical site but the only no-brainer would be the images. Everything else might include tradeoffs.

One more thing: the DEV icon is going to hit Font Awesome any day now:

Hope you add it to your the site when it does alongside the other badges when it does. 😄

Thank you! That means a lot!

Yeah image compression totally slipped my mind.

Nice! I was looking for this when I added those other icons! I will definitely be adding it :)

Also didn't notice this at first:

Looks like there are some issues here.

Generally, there are a bunch of opportunities to send fewer bytes over the web. The images are the big one, but you might want to see how you can shrink your CSS/JS builds, just as an exercise.

I'm a perf nerd so it's where I go first.

But yeah, love the aesthetic soooo much.
