Changelog

A timeline of major updates, architectural overhauls, and the occasional shiny new feature shipped to this portfolio.

v2.2.0

October 2026

-
Finally saw the light... by turning it off. Full Dark Mode support across the entire site.
-
Tightened OPSEC by replacing the cleartext mailto link with a secure contact form to shield the inbox from automated scrapers.
-
Deployed a custom Security Proxy to quietly filter out malicious probes and unwanted automated traffic.
-
Added a Live Clock to the footer so you can pinpoint my exact timezone and optimize the timing of your attacks... err, emails.
-
Integrated Cloudflare Turnstile into the contact form to definitively prove that I am, in fact, not a robot (and neither are you).

September 2026

-
Under the hood, we completely overhauled the architecture to Next.js and React. Because who needs sleep when you have the bleeding edge?
-
Swapped the entire styling engine to Tailwind CSS, keeping things blazingly fast and delightfully utility first.
-
Fired up a Sanity Headless CMS backend. Content updates no longer require git commits. We're living in the future now.
-
Hid an easter egg somewhere on the homepage. ฅ(^•ﻌ•^ฅ)
-
Introduced this very Changelog page so you can read about all the updates you missed.

Early August 2026

-
Hardened the application with strict security headers and a comprehensive content security policy.
-
Officially introduced the wizard cat as the website's mascot. Because every serious portfolio needs a magical feline.
-
Dropped a looping custom video of said wizard cat into an old TV on the About page. Click the screen to unmute the chaos.
-
Optimized media assets to ensure the video payload remains lightweight and doesn't destroy your bandwidth.
-
Added subtle hover interactions across navigation elements for a more tactile feel.

May 2026

-
Replaced native scroll with Lenis for silky smooth, inertia driven scrolling.
-
Added Framer Motion parallax tracking to cover images for some much needed depth and immersiveness.
-
Sprinkled in a microscopic SVG noise layer to make the background less sterile. It's the subtle analog feel right under your nose.
-
Introduced Magnetic Interactions paired with a magic stick for a custom cursor. Every click triggers a sparkle animation because we love unnecessary joy.
-
Implemented fluid staggered reveal animations for page transitions and text rendering.

January 2026

-
The initial launch of this portfolio iteration. It was simpler times.
-
Ditched the default OS scroll track for a sleek, minimal custom scroll bar. It's the little details right from day one.
-
Basic routing, a handful of projects, and a very optimistic 'Contact Me' button.
-
Proof of concept for the minimal, content first design philosophy using a warm Terracotta accent.
-
Established a strict minimal design system, leaning heavily on whitespace and robust typography.
