Subversion is file-based while Git is object-based which is superior IMO. Also, Git is decentralized although most users use a central repository host like GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket. But it can still be used decentral. Git is far superior then SVN when it comes to branching and merging since it is object-based and not file-based. I haven't made use of that functionality in SVN extensively, probably for a good reason. Also, Git has a staging and a commit area. Meaning you can make changes offline, commit them and when you are online, you can push them to a server. SVN requires a network connection to make a simple commit. That doesn't allow you to work offline effectively because you cannot place commits appropriately.
I see you have reserved the domain ship-ready.com . Don't you think robingruenke.com would be better? Now it's free I recommend you get it ASAP! No need for fancy names. Once you own your name you can adapt the site to your current career. The other commenters have already given excellent feedback about the content. Concerning the design, it's fine if you put a picture on the left fixed column but it looks a bit plain.
As someone who is developing scripts that are injected into customer sites and making AJAX request to our servers, a.k.a. cross-origin requests, I can say that it's very frustrating. I myself have an ad-blocker installed and know that none of the scripts work if the end-user has one installed. One possible solution around this problem would be to set up an endpoint at the customer's site that simply forwards the requests to the other domain. This way, no cross-origin requests have to be made. We have never tried this and I don't know to which extent this might work.
