About

Hi, I’m Ronalds Vilciņš!

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Riga in the 1980s, I embarked on a journey from programming to marketing, accumulating over 15 years of experience. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse companies, both large and small, on projects that spanned local and global markets. My interests extend beyond marketing, encompassing media, advertising, SEO, open-source technologies, and artificial intelligence. I am deeply passionate about minimalism and simplicity, which I strive to incorporate into my work and life. This passion led me to develop several popular and free jamstack themes for Hugo and Jekyll, making website creation accessible to many. I’ve also built a collection of useful web tools, driven by a desire to make the digital world a more user-friendly space.

To keep updated with my work, follow me on Twitter, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon or Github and you’d like to discuss a project, make something meaningful together, or simply get in touch, please send me an e-mail.

If you’d like to support me, I’d love if you could buy me a coffee.

This website is committed to minimizing its environmental impact. To achieve this, I’ve embraced a low-tech approach by building it as a static website. Unlike dynamic websites that rely on constant computation, static websites are essentially collections of files. This simple structure requires less processing power, leading to reduced energy consumption. By choosing a static site, we can serve the website efficiently and contribute less to the digital industry’s environmental footprint.

This website is built using a powerful static site generator called Hugo, which makes websites load super fast. It’s hosted on Cloudflare, a company that makes websites work smoothly. The website is powered by sustainable energy, so it’s good for the environment. It’s also designed to be easy for everyone to use, even people with disabilities. It’s super fast, getting top scores on performance tests. And to keep things clean, there are no ads or trackers.
