Some of your :hover transitions are a bit wonky in Chrome.

Hovering over, say, "JavaScript" under your TeamCoco job bumps your span.label from 70px width to 72px width. My guess is that this is from Chrome rounding partial pixels weirdly in your transitions, but it's clear that you didn't mean for the other elements in line to move.

Also on Chrome, not sure you've got your Fjalla One font included properly. Even though computed style is showing that as first choice for your header elements, my machine is defaulting to Helvetica Neue. This is due to you calling it "Fjalla+One" instead of "Fjalla One" in your css.

I don't like that I can't read all the words in your "built this myself website" to me usability trumps design and if I have to highlight it to read it you've already lost me.

I see you have an extensive background in construction project management. Why did you choose design? I bet your background could produce many opportunities as a project manager. Perhaps you should learn to apply your lessons from construction to software development. Then you can market yourself as an expert in project management, which could pay significantly more than designing.
