The short version
Designed and built an interactive personal website with AI coding tools. Visitors can read the work, ask about it or explore the same profile through a desktop and terminal.
The challenge
A conventional profile makes every visitor read the same sequence. A founder, a hiring leader and a curious peer often want very different details. The site needed to make those details easy to find while keeping running costs close to zero.
The work behind it
- Kept roles, projects, services and contact information in a shared content model so the different interfaces draw on the same facts.
- Built structured handlers for career dates, companies and common questions, with local keyword retrieval for questions outside the scripted set.
- Connected project stories to the conversation and linked consulting offers to their corresponding Topmate sessions.
- Made the reading experience work on phones, added keyboard navigation and supported reduced motion and light/dark themes.
What changed
- A working portfolio that can be explored through reading, conversation or terminal commands.
- Scripted answers and local retrieval run in the browser without a model API charge. The optional server-side model fallback is disabled on GitHub Pages.
