About

Hey, I’m Tycho! I’m a front-end developer. This is just my personal website. I like helping teams building clean and maintainable software that scales.

This website is built with:

• Astro for building HTML pages
• Firebase hosting
• Native HTML and CSS features, including:
  • Dark mode based on your system preferences
  • Styling using pure CSS custom properties
  • Page transitions using the Page Transition API
