changelog

Every real change to this site, since 2015.

Not a curated highlight reel. The actual log, pulled from version control, a coming-soon page that grew into a real one, sat mostly untouched for years, then got rebuilt entirely this June.

2026, the rebuild

v2.5 23 June 2026
  • Split Contact into its own section, footer is now the terminal sign-bar alone
  • Dropped the contact block from this changelog page, it did not belong here
  • Loosened the timeline spacing on mobile, it was cramped
  • Restyled the timeline to match the one on the main site, dots now sit on the line
v2.4 21 June 2026
  • Adjusted the spacing between the footer and the terminal sign-bar
  • Updated the terminal prompt to show the actual host and path
v2.3 20 June 2026
  • Built the terminal-style sign bar for the footer, the kind that types itself out rather than just sitting there
  • Gave the terminal container a proper min-height so it stops jumping around mid-type
v2.2 20 June 2026
  • Built the section-navigation system, fixed dots on desktop, a floating compass-icon menu on mobile
  • Fixed a bug where "Top" was scrolling past the banner instead of to it
  • Moved the info popovers to render at the body level so they stop getting trapped behind other elements
v2.1 20 June 2026
  • Replaced the flat Experience list with a real timeline
  • Built the interactive Stack section, hover any of the core technologies and you get the real story
  • Rebuilt Writing as proper cards instead of two plain links
  • Restyled "How I Actually Work" so it stops looking like a twin of "What I Actually Believe"
  • Adjusted About's layout so the strongest line in it finally has room to breathe
  • Removed the character cap that was crowding the hero's intro paragraph against the nav rail
v2.0 20 June 2026
  • Added the "How I Actually Work" and "What Changes For You" sections, the page started saying something more specific than a resume would
v1 19 June 2026
  • Closed the SEO gaps, Open Graph tags, Twitter cards, a favicon, structured data
  • Fixed the banner and headshot, positioning, stacking, broken paths
  • New logos, new copy throughout

2022 to 2023, light upkeep on the old site

7 January 2023
  • Small cleanup pass on the old site
  • Trimmed unused CSS, removed a couple of dead image assets
26 December 2022
  • Added a self-updating years-of-experience counter
  • Gave the email address its own styling and basic obfuscation

2015, where it started

v1.0.0 2 December 2015
  • "The finished version"
  • Social sharing, SEO basics
  • A quietly self-updating years-of-experience counter that kept running for the better part of a decade
v0.1.11 30 November 2015
  • A round of analytics and cleanup
v0.1.10 30 November 2015
  • Coming-soon page launched
  • Everything pulled together into one place
28 to 29 November 2015
  • Where it started
  • "Finished in one sitting, this was one hell of a sprint," the first commit message still says. It was right.
