Development Overview

The project is built with Jekyll 4.x and uses a data-driven architecture.

• Canonical Data: Lives in _data/ (YAML).
• Core Pipeline: ./bin/pipeline (Rake-based).
• Automation: Specialized Ruby generators in _plugins/.

Analytics Events (GoatCounter)

GoatCounter page analytics are loaded globally in the minimal layout. Custom events are tracked via assets/js/goatcounter-events.js for:

• mailto: link clicks
• tel: link clicks
• Resume/file download-style links
• Outbound link clicks (including video hosts like YouTube/Vimeo)

Missed path tracking is captured in 404.html as an event:

• path: /event/missed-path
• title: requested URL path + query string
