How this site is built
I rebuilt my old Jekyll blog with Astro. Pages are static HTML, with JavaScript for the demos and a few site controls.
I'm a software engineer at AWS.
I'm Le Qin. I studied computer science at the University of Michigan.
Here are some projects I've been building and trying out, from spatial interaction to sensors and climbing. You can watch the demos, look around, and see what's still taking shape.
