Just some minor things I would update :-)

  • add a favicon
  • order the timeline in the about page from new -> old (people usually don't care what you did a few years ago)
  • I would adapt the background color on the sides to the logo color (also the color of your shirt would fit the colors then and reduce color noise on the page ;-) )
  • I assume the login link in the top is only useful for yourself, so I would remove that from the navigation
  • the horizontal line at the years on the about page doesn't go full width (maybe put the year in the center and have the horizontal line go over the full width
  • in the books page, I would add an ISBN and if allowed the cover
  • in the books page, have the quote at the beginning stand more out (bigger font and margin)

I would also try to increase the overall readability of the texts. When there are bigger text blocks it get's hard to read imo.
