Denis’ Corner Of the Internet #

Preface #

Hi, my name is Denis Khatnyuk (Денис Хатнюк). I am currently an undergraduate student studying Mathematics and Computer Science at Queen’s University.

This website, I hope, will serve as a mix of photo album and journal, which one could browse through to get an idea of what was running through Denis’ head through the years.

I also heard that a portfolio site isn’t a terrible thing to put on a résumé.

Design Notes #

Stylistically, I chose to try and present this website in a similar style to that of a journal. The reason for this was twofold. Firstly, it would help complement the type of content I would be creating on it, namely the details of projects which I embarked upon, which would work nicely as journal articles. The second reason was my fondness for this formal style. Effectively, I wanted to create a site which would feel as if it it were typeset in $\LaTeX$. Taking this into account, writing this site as if it were a journal only seemed a natural fit for the chosen asthetic. The main font used for content on this site is Computer Modern, by Donald E. Knuth, because of course it is. I also used Jost for the menu, since I wanted to differentiate the UI elements from the main content, and Cabin Sketch for titles, as it reminded me of chalk on a chalkboard, which fit the branding. Through this all, I hope to evoke that sense of reading a maths or similar academic text for this site, even though what you are actually reading are a rambling fool’s writings about his pet projects. Notably, this website will have dark theme if that is specified in your browser’s preferences, as I acknowledge that some people have very strong opinions on that sort of thing. But, I will mainly be writing this content with the light theme in mind, as that is my prefered look (it looks more like the aforementioned academic journal that way), and so some images or other types of content may become less asthetically pleasing and/or readable in dark mode, as they will be created with the light theme in mind.
