Hosting a Static Site with Hugo
Dynamic sites are all the rage these days, but static sites have their own advantages. I decided to try out Hugo to generate this one, and this is what I learned.

Me
Hi! I’m Adam and I hope you can get some value out of the collection of information I’m building here. I’m currently a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test with Workiva during the day and during the evenings I’m learning about a variety of subjects, relaxing, or honing some kind of skill. I would like to keep primarily focused on software development, but photography and cooking are going to show up a lot too.
