+      <h1>Welcome</h1>
+      <p>Hi, I'm Ella. Welcome to my really <i>really</i> awesome website!! You should probably enjoy it, or you won't
+        enjoy it very much.</p>
+
+      <h2>About Me</h2>
+      <p>I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (what a mouthful...) from Rice
+        University in 2024. I now do data science as a Neurobiology researcher at The University of Alabama at
+        Birmingham.</p>
+      <p>In computer world, I enjoy programming mostly in Python/Hy and Rust. I've written a few <a
+          href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/">tree-sitter</a> grammars (<a
+          href="https://github.com/elladunbar/tree-sitter-hy">tree-sitter-hy</a> and <a
+          href="https://github.com/elladunbar/tree-sitter-zanscript">tree-sitter-zanscript</a>) to enable better syntax
+        highlighting in my editor, and I've made a small project (<a
+          href="https://github.com/elladunbar/to-braille">to-braille</a>) to print images using Unicode braille
+        characters. I prefer Unix-like operating systems, and usually work out of a terminal emulator.</p>
+      <p>At Rice, my senior capstone project was <a
+          href="https://oedk.rice.edu/teams-details?recordId=recOoHcwRsKrtGwNm">Sea++</a> where my team created an
+        autonomous solar-powered sailboat from scratch. I especially enjoyed implementing a more robust communication
+        protocol for our microcontrollers. The protocol was built on top of serial with checksumming and error state
+        communication. In other classes, I designed and programmed a custom bicycle spedometer for Beer Bike athletes,
+        and I spent a lot of time playing with images and deep learning models.</p>
+      <p>When I'm not working, I spend a lot of time reading <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/">Hacker News</a>,
+        listening to music, and playing Super Smash Bros. Melee. Out of doors, I love climbing and backpacking, and Red
+        River Gorge, the Ouachita Mountains, and Big Bend National Park are some of my favorite spots.</p>
