Sonny Stark

Musician, web developer, stage/theater technician, writer & traveler

Born in Sweden but living in Leipzig, Germany, I am the creator and developer of the opinionated and informative blog The Adversarian (coming soon). I build things for the web and store these projects on Codeberg (present) and GitHub (past). Music is my true passion and I listen to a lot of it, some of which you can get a glimpse of on my Bandcamp and my Album Whale (where I also post a monthly playlist), but I also write and play - because I don't know how not to. I do have some newer music projects in the works that I will be sharing when the time is right.

Colophon

I used 11ty to build this website since I felt that Astro was overkill for a simple static site like this and it didn't really fit my idea of this portfolio. Nunjucks was used for templating and I went with vanilla CSS for styling so that I could have full control over the styling without any external dependencies. There is just a small pinch of JavaScript in there for some dynamic behavior.
