Giovani

And of course, blowing my own trumpet, here is mine. When I wrote the first version of this piece, my portfolio drew on vaporwave and the neumorphism of Linux desktops. It has changed since: it is this site, with no JavaScript and built around the reader. The image below shows the old version.
