Some time ago, I tried to create a personal page for myself and it’s been an interesting process from the moment I decided I would do it.

I have something I could call a design made in Inkscape and I tried to implement it in a flash-like tool called SwishMax. That didn’t get too far though.

I have done a previous version of a “flash site” for myself and I was pretty content at that time with the result [link to the page should be here] (isn’t it annoying when you can’t find stuff on your personal archive?). But times change, and after being away from the computer for a little while I came back and have been learning all sorts of interesting things about web development ever since.

So here I am, trying to somehow document the webpage I have built to kind of put some technologies and concepts I’ve been reading about into practice.

It is a very very basic site. On the content side of things I tried to keep it simple: full screen background images, some text that serves as a kind of a bio and I wanted to make sure it was in both English and Spanish. I based the code on this project right here.

The technologies I have built into the page are the following:

• AngularJS: more specifically a module from a project called AngularUI
• jQuery and a plugin called vegas.

I really care for minimalistic designs, and I thought this would fit very well with my personality. It also had to have some links to other sources just in case people were interested enough about my professional profile.

So, that’s it. A personal webpage.
