Hi, I'm Timothy Foster - here's a few things I thought I'd better write down, mostly for my own future reference, but maybe useful to others too. A sort of "commit log" for my engineering journey covering notes and things I've learnt along the way.

    Obligatory 'Hello World' post introducing my new portfolio site, and the overall process of how to build and deploy a portfolio page for free using static site generators like Gatsby.
