    Change Drop Shadow

    The first thing that bothered me was the drop shadow. I think it would be better if it were just a flat gradient from black to white or removed completely. I like the minimalism of the layout overall, but the text/font seems inconsistent. The top of the layout looks like it's part of a different site compared to the bottom. At the top you're using sans-serifs, but at the bottom, your headers are sans-serif, but content text is serifs.

      Would you suggest changing the sub-titles to sans-serif?

      Personally, what I would do is change everything to sans-serif. Then whatever font you used for the top for your name and resume, use those for "Script"/"Shaders", etc. just to keep things consistent.

      I think your right, I did it and it looks good! Still unsure what I'm going to do about the text
