Hello, world (again)

Why I rebuilt robertbaker.dev on Astro and Cloudflare, and what I plan to write about here.

Every few years a personal site deserves a rebuild. This one is static-first, built on Astro 7, and deployed to Cloudflare Workers.

What’s here

  • Resume — where I’ve worked and what I work with.
  • Projects — open-source work, from Seven Update to OrcaSlicer profiles.
  • This blog — engineering notes and lessons learned.

What I’ll write about

  1. Building fast, accessible sites with Astro and Tailwind.
  2. Running things at the edge on Cloudflare.
  3. Open source maintenance — the fun parts and the rest.
  4. 3D-printer firmware, profiles, and tinkering.

If any of that sounds interesting, say hello.
