Hire Me | The Resume & CV of Henry Desroches

Here’s the elevator pitch on why I’d love to work with you and why you might want to work with me. Hope you think it’s nice :)

btw this project is hand-coded, flat-file HTML and CSS via 11ty, works without JavaScript, is keyboard-navigable, and observes `reduced-motion` preferences. even the route transitions animations loading is deferred :) plenty to improve upon of course but not a bad place to start 😤
@henry really cool personal website, congratulations 🤘🫡
@henry proooobably not a match but I would be thrilled if you came to GitBook to work on making our published content radically nice (which is my main focus there), lmk if you want to have a chat about it https://gitbook.gitbook.io/join-gitbook/join-us/product-engineer

Full remote: EU & UK (+/- 3 hours)

@zeno i DO :) lemme get up to speed on this one and then cool to shoot you an email or someth?
@henry perf! take all the time you need, email and # are on my portfolio, feel free to message either ✨
@zeno ooh shoot i'm UK -7 i fear

@henry oh right, but we are pretty distributed, with at least sales/devrel/support ranging from US to Asia, and we have overlapping times with them.

Soooo if that’s the only “knock” I‘d wager that we’d be pretty flexible, but it would have to suit you too, might be a bit more skeleton crew than EU times

@henry (speaking from the I here but) I’d say that working times are really really flexible anyway, life comes first. I’d imagine the job posting is a bit more conservatively written than we actually are.

But again, ymmv with how *you* want to work :)

@henry Hi! Best wishes to you on your job search. I kept trying to click things to find an Easter egg or something. Finally read the page source and found one. 😃

Btw your footer is showing the function to display the current year. Is that on purpose? If so I highly appreciate this nod to the nerds 🫡

@henry scrolling this and whispering 'r u mcfreaking kidding me (complimentary)’ every section

@henry Absolutely astounding site! What inspired you to create such designs and styling? And how long did it take? Hell lot of effort you put in.

Also, I stumbled upon this (see: attached) at the footer of the page. It might've slipped through the cracks.

@ff_ivanovsky don’t worry :) footer’s just a little developer humor https://github.com/xdesro/true-terrors/blob/47b19c8d5ab2e09263133ce9e1008d45e0f3de21/src/_includes/footer.njk#L40-L43

RE: design, mostly just wanted to do something edgier and truer to the spooky little weirdo I am in the rest of my day-to-day life :) took a couple of tries but i'm happy where it landed!

@henry is the unrendered © ${new Date().getCurrentYear()} in the footer a joke, or a mistake?
@henry really nice looking website! also the css for cute link underline animations is 
@henry Really cool. But seems to heat up my iPhone quite a bit on mobile Safari. Probably CSS animations?
