Note: Some enterprise firewalls seem to block mdrichardson.net. If you'd still like to view my portfolio, you can go to the GitHub Pages version. However GitHub Pages works a little funny with React Router and some content may not load. Use this as a last resort.

Like many aspiring developers, I built this site to showcase my previous work and let you know a little bit more about me. It's definitely overkill to build this in React, since it's mostly a static site. However, it made it easy to add my blog to it.
