Pros:

  • Very clean and legible design.
  • Has an aesthetic or theme that it pulls off very well
  • Illustrations of yourself and computer were a nice touch

Cons:

  • Took ~5 seconds to load, but on the other hand everything was loaded when it was done (no post-load loading or janky reflows)
  • Loading spinner didn't match the theme
  • I'm not a fan of things sliding in as you scroll
  • Could maybe use a little less white and empty space
  • The T logo at the top is kind of up there by itself.
  • One buggy thing that may be because I have the font size turned up in MacOs (viewing in Firefox on laptop, though Chrome usually has the same problems, and this is a very common thing, so your site is not alone in this) is that the things seem cut off within the individual cards for robotics pages:

A screenshot of cards, showing a display bug in which text and buttons are cut off

Other than the last one, these aren't things I would take off points for, in terms this site showing your ability to do web development, because it clearly does. P.s., I'm not a designer, I just Have Opinions About Web PagesTM .

I agree with this. Perf stuff could be improved by hosting improvements, but also, now that you have a pretty clean overall design you could maybe consider re-implementing some of this for a faster first paint.

Perhaps you could send the above-the-fold content and styling in the HTML and async everything else.

Definitely clean and could have animations limited to make things simpler overall.
