Release Notes

Added

• A final easter egg, for people with far too much free time.

Added

• A college research project on wildfire smoke detection, and an honest tally of the improvement ideas the clouds kept defeating.
• My 10th grade final project, a Java ATM, rebuilt years later with a real interface and kept around as a homage.

Changed

• The two work projects go by clearer names now, Survey Intelligence and the Student Learning Assistant, with the old links still finding them.
• A lighter touch on the specifics of the live work systems, which run on real people's data.

Added

• A model picker next to the ask button. My own fine-tuned model is on the list, greyed out until it's done training.

Changed

• The chat fits the screen now instead of asking you to scroll to reach the input.

Added

• Architecture grew from one page into four: the site, the twin, the game backend, and the contact pipeline each get their own.
• The twin is wired for a self-hosted fallback model, for the day every free tier runs dry at once.

Changed

• Newer Gemini models behind the chat, and keyword-only retrieval keeps answers coming even when embeddings are down.

Added

• A landing page that sums up the work in about thirty seconds, then hands you three ways in.
• A guided walkthrough for Hunter Wumpus, so the game can teach itself before it turns on you.

Changed

• A warmer, boxier palette across the whole site, with the docs now living behind the landing at /introduction.
• The mark in the corner is a cat now.

Added

• Proper link previews: an Open Graph card, a sitemap, and a robots file, so the site looks right when shared or searched.
• More things tucked away for people who look. Still, on principle, not listed here.

Changed

• The diagrams now follow the site's own palette instead of stock colors.
• The Uses page is now Toolkit, and the version badge moved up to the top bar.

Added

• A fuller account of what I build full-time, and a line on what I actually believe.

Changed

• The architecture diagrams now use the right shape for each idea, the game board has room to breathe, and the on-page nudges are calmer and rarer.

Fixed

• The game now finds its backend by default, so it plays even without extra configuration.

Added

• An architecture page with whole-system diagrams of how the site, the twin, and the game fit together.
• A handful of things for the curious, left where they belong and deliberately not listed here. Poke around.

Fixed

• Duplicated subtitles on the changelog and chat pages.

Added

• The PPO reinforcement-learning game, embedded natively in the page rather than an iframe.
• A FastAPI and PPO backend running on a free Hugging Face Space.

Added

• A retrieval-grounded chatbot with a visible retrieval trace for every answer.
• Search hands unanswered queries to the twin from the command palette.

Changed

• Chat moved to its own full-page view, with a starter-question landing.

Added

• Project deep-dives, a certifications wall, uses, research, and a working contact form.

Changed

• Projects and Hunter Wumpus are clickable from the breadcrumb and sidebar; certificates ordered by theme.

Added

• The documentation-style shell: notebook layout, a muted-gold accent, and first-class light and dark modes with an instant switch.

Added

• Next.js, Fumadocs, and Tailwind, deployed on Vercel.
