How this site works

This site is a wiki built in Quartz, maintained as I go. It runs as a working record of the practice, projects, decisions, playbooks, things I’ve read, rather than a résumé refreshed for applications.

Two-stage build

The repo has two layers:

  • raw/, source material. Defuddled web captures, per-project evidence dives (I read the code and extract architecture, decisions, metrics), PDF extracts, pasted notes. Re-runnable. Not edited by hand.
  • content/, the wiki you’re reading. Written by hand from the raw layer, never auto-stitched from it. Keeping them separate keeps the written layer in my voice and the raw layer re-runnable.

Folders

  • skills/, what I do, one page per speciality, with the projects that back it.
  • projects/, one page per build, with the decisions and outcomes attached.
  • decisions/, positions I hold, with reasoning.
  • playbooks/, repeatable recipes I want to run the same way twice.
  • notes/, short-form dated thinking.
  • influences/, video, audio, and writing that shaped the work.
  • open-questions/, things I haven’t resolved.

Dated entries

Pages carry dates where it matters. If a position shifts, the old page stays and a new one lands next to it rather than overwriting. Both are readable from the Decisions folder.

Plain markdown in git

The whole site is markdown files in a public git repo, built with Quartz and hosted on Vercel. No CMS, no database, no platform lock-in. Works as a local Obsidian vault too, that’s how I maintain it.

Why this shape

A CV compresses the work into a page. Keeping the detail, decisions, playbooks, the reasoning behind them, lets readers follow the thread they care about, and lets the site grow with the work.
