Creating Something
What I learned (re)building my website in Astro.
Who am I?
My name is Westley Winks. I try to live my life with integrity by living according to my core values:
- Learning. I live for the pursuit of learning and it gives my life meaning and purpose. I stay curious and am always looking for new information and skills. For me, learning looks like reading books, coding, solving puzzles, reading blog posts, writing, and trying new things. One of my weaknesses is learning for the sake of learning and staying on the theoretical side of things instead of applying them.
- Service to others. One of my roles in this life is to compassionately serve others, supporting them and nurturing their growth. I enjoy being known as "the guy" who people call, knowing that I will put all my effort into helping them. Serving others looks like volunteering, choosing the "support role" in any game I play, and writing.
Can I contact you?
