About this site

This is Jake Gaylor's personal portfolio site — a static site built with Eleventy and deployed via GitHub Pages.

Site sections

• index.html — Home page and landing experience
• blog/ — Writing and blog posts
• projects.html — Portfolio of projects Jake has worked on
• resume.html — Résumé page template; renders from resume.json at build time
• bio/, old.html, interactive-resume.html, next.html — retired pages kept as redirect stubs so old links don't 404

Local development

Run the site locally

Starts an Eleventy dev server with live reload:

npx @11ty/eleventy --serve

Rebuild the Tailwind CSS

Styles are a static Tailwind build (no CDN). After adding or changing Tailwind classes in any template, regenerate _assets/css/tailwind.css:

npm run build:css

Update the résumé

1. Update resume.json as needed — /resume/ renders from it automatically (resume.html is an Eleventy template; data is wired up in .eleventy.js).
2. Regenerate _assets/JakeGaylor_resume.pdf from the rebuilt /resume/ page so the download stays in sync. The page has print styles (the PDF is a subset: work + skills, no projects/references), so print-to-PDF the built page (letter, 0.4in margins, background graphics off).
3. Git commit all the changes.
