This Website

My personal brand hub, including The_D_Bot, an AI portfolio guide trained on years of my real working notes.

The problem

A resume tells you what someone did. I wanted a site that shows how I think. And in 2026, the honest way to demonstrate AI judgment is to ship something with real AI in it, built with the same guardrails I'd demand in a regulated environment.

The approach

The site itself is a Next.js App Router build with Tailwind and Framer Motion, content-managed through Sanity. The interesting part is The_D_Bot: an AI portfolio guide that answers in my first-person portfolio voice, backed by a corpus distilled from years of real working notes, every line human-reviewed before it ships, with hard red lines it won't cross.

The bot runs as an isolated service with its own budgeted keys, rate limiting, and abuse controls, on a one-way content flow: private notes → line-by-line approved public corpus → static deployment. The architecture is the writing sample.

The outcome

You're looking at it. If you want to pressure-test the thinking behind it, that's literally what The_D_Bot is for.

The_D_Bot knows this project: what broke, what surprised me, and what I'd do differently. Ask it anything.
