About me

Hi, I am Jayesh, but my friends often call me by my last name Bhoot, because Bhoot means Ghost in several Indian languages. According to these same friends, my countenance ↓ stays true to my last name.

I live with my partner in a hilly city. We have a dog and a cat...or the cat has me and my partner and the dog.

I am a polyglot software developer – polyglot in sense of technology domains, business domains, as well as programming languages.

I am a Southpaw. I recently bought a pair of left-handed scissors. Now I know – after 35 years of my existence on Earth – what a smooth and elegant cutting feels like.

How I look like

This is what Jayesh Bhoot looks like. The picture was taken at the Seamouth Beach near Chilika Lake in Odisha. The backdrop is basically the Bay of Bengal. 35 years spent on Earth, and I'm still unsure how to smile and pose in front of a camera.

About the website

This website is built with soupault. Thanks to Daniil Baturin for building this fantastic tool, and to Anton Bachin for building lambdasoup, the scraping library that powers soupault.

I write the content of this website in HTML and, sometimes, Markdown. I am leaning towards using just HTML though.

Styling

I style this website using the principles espoused in Every Layout:

Global layer: aesthetics (fonts, colors, shadows, etc.)
Layout layer: Every Layout patterns for layout and arrangement of boxes
Specifics layer: which uses utility classes. Tailwind could be used in this layer.

Much of the styling gets accomplished in layer 1 and 2. CSS custom properties a.k.a. CSS variables are used to make the layout layer, i.e., layer 2, configurable.

Part of small web

This website uses microformats to be a part of IndieWeb. Check out its IndieWeb compatibility here.
