What's New?

This portfolio was heavily modified and streamlined from its original template to provide a simpler, highly performant, and maintenance-free experience:

• Removed the Backend: Transitioned from a complex Python FastAPI/PostgreSQL backend to a 100% serverless static markdown file system.
• Removed the Chatbot: Purged the legacy OpenAI chatbot integration to reduce dependencies, API costs, and complexity.
• Complete Personalization: Fully integrated professional experience, education, and social links based on real-world data.
