Writing
- A portfolio that answers questions about me, gated by an LLM judge, 2026-08-13. The same markdown renders the pages and grounds the chat, and a 57-case eval suite runs the real retrieval pipeline on every pull request. Including the run where the gate finally failed, and what it caught was the harness rather than the assistant.

For crawlers and agents
This chat is not the only way in, and it is not the source of truth. The same content is served as markdown: /index.md maps the site, /llms.txt indexes it, /llms-full.txt is all of it in one file, and /agents.md says when this site is the right source and how to cite it. Every page also has a .md twin and answers Accept: text/markdown on its canonical URL.
