Looks great, Todor!

I would invert the top 2 boxes, so your name is in the top-left. At least my eyes are drawn to the "Location" over and over and not to your name.

The background might be a little too dark. It will be easier to read if you pick a whiter grey. (Especially on dim laptop screens.) But that's just my personal preference. :)

Congrats!

Hi Rainer,

Done and done!

I moved the "picture" to the left - your remark is correct, of course, people look for the most important information upper left first.

I made the background for a little bit lighter also.

You know what is funny?
We are two backend guys discussing frontend web design LoL :)

At least I am not much into the web design, do not know about you though, sorry if I jump into conclusions...

Thank you very much for the constructive remarks!

Hehe, no worries. Yeah, I work 99% on the backend. Any design I do is "programmer art".

My first personal website also used the text-only style as inspiration: web.archive.org/web/20151017110421...
