About me

I'm Cory LaViska — a principal software engineer, a business owner, and an Army veteran living in Florida. I enjoy writing open source software, exploring the wilderness, and a good cup of tea.

This is my personal website where you'll find all sorts of crazy thoughts and randomness. Occassionally, you might even find something useful here. If you're interested in my more serious side and my professional work, head over to A Beautiful Site where I write about software, web design, and related topics.

The website

Built from scratch using a theme I playfully designed. It's part sketchbook, part cosmos, with a nod to the emo album art I grew up on. Everything grows out of Garden Dingbats, a vintage font full of mushrooms, ladybugs, spiderwebs, and hearts, planted under a sky full of stars. Light mode is the garden by day on pale indigo paper, and dark mode is the same garden blooming at night. The website is built with Eleventy and deployed on Vercel. Search is powered by MiniSearch.

The website, its design and content, and the "LaViska.com" wordmark are copyrights of Cory LaViska.
