This here's my academic/professional website, see?
Most of the "theme" is based off a pretty Github landing page I found, and it uses knitr-Hyde to convert .Rmd files into Jekyll blog posts, but pretty much literally everything else is me and I'm actually very proud of it!
I also made it so that my twin brother and I can share blog posts automatically across our sites (he forked mine) with a git sub-module, which is pretty neato, but it seems I've been responsible for ~95% of the posts! It also has a cool feature where it will switch color schemes depending on the author of the post.
Also, I should add that I'm not responsible for anything he posts, so if he writes some weird stuff, take it up with him!
