Building a minimal website with Go

2026-01-15T12:00:00Z

Hello World

Welcome to my new personal website. As a software engineer, I wanted a place to share my thoughts and experiences without the bloat of modern web frameworks.

The Tech Stack

I decided to build this site using a custom Static Site Generator (SSG) written in Go. Why?

  1. Simplicity: I have full control over the rendering pipeline.
  2. Performance: Static files are fast. Go is fast. The build process is instant.
  3. Learning: It's a great way to experiment with Go templates and filesystem operations.

Design Philosophy

The design is intentionally minimal.

  • Font: JetBrains Mono. Monospaced fonts are the native language of developers.
  • Colors: Black and White. High contrast, easy to read, no distractions.
  • Content: Markdown. Simple to write, portable, and version controllable.

What's Next?

I plan to write about:

  • Go programming patterns
  • System architecture
  • Data engineering at Dataglitch
  • And other interesting technical challenges I encounter.

Stay tuned.
