    Updates

    What's new on the site — features, improvements, and fixes.

    1. Fixed

      Reviews now fit properly on mobile

      On phones, part of each review card could get cut off at the right edge, so you couldn't read the whole quote. The reviews section is back to a clean single-column layout on mobile, so every review is fully readable.

    2. Improved

      One consistent professional title

      My title now reads the same across the whole site — Software Engineer, Full-Stack Developer, and Coding Instructor — in the browser tab, the intro, the footer, the article byline, and search results, instead of switching between different labels.

    3. Improved

      Streamlined the top navigation

      The standalone C# playground page was removed to keep the site focused on the work that matters. You can still edit and run the C# examples right inside the articles.

    4. Improved

      Faster, lighter page loads

      The home page now ships less code up front — reviews load quietly in the background and shared libraries are cached between pages — so the site opens and moves between pages noticeably faster.

    5. Improved

      Easier-to-read text and calmer motion

      Amber text now meets accessibility contrast standards so it's readable for everyone, the browser's top bar matches your light or dark choice, and if you prefer reduced motion the last few animations now hold still too.

    6. Improved

      Sharper, theme-aware article reading

      Good-vs-bad code comparisons are now syntax-highlighted, self-check quiz answers render formatted text and code, and diagrams instantly follow light/dark mode when you switch themes.

    7. Improved

      Every article points you forward

      Articles and the articles list now close with clear next steps — quick ways to hire me for engineering work or learn with me — plus links to follow along on YouTube and LinkedIn.

    8. Improved

      Reach me from anywhere on the site

      A “Hire me” button now sits in the top navigation, and the footer has been rebuilt into a proper landing spot — quick links to every section, ways to connect, a résumé download, and a one-tap “back to top”.

    9. Improved

      Smoother navigation & better accessibility

      The menu now highlights the section you're actually reading — including the contact section at the very bottom — and the mobile menu is fully keyboard- and screen-reader-friendly.

    10. Improved

      Home page refresh — engineering front and center

      A polished pass over the home page: projects now open with a .NET Clean Architecture API, the software-development service highlights a focused set of specialties instead of a long catalog, the experience section points you straight to the project work, and the articles block now matches the rest of the page.

    11. Fixed

      Fixed the CV download and service booking links

      The “Download CV” button now downloads the résumé correctly, and booking a service goes straight to WhatsApp or email — no more dead links.

    12. Improved

      Clearer buttons in the intro

      The main hero button now takes you straight to the contact form, and a new “See My Work” button jumps to the projects.

    13. Improved

      C# playground is easier to find

      The interactive C# playground is now linked from the top navigation and the footer, so you can open it from anywhere on the site.

    14. Improved

      Accessibility improvements

      Contact form fields and the light/dark theme toggle now carry proper labels, so the site works better with screen readers and keyboard navigation.

    15. Improved

      Redesigned the home page flow

      The home page now reads as one clear story — engineering work and skills first, then teaching and services, with reviews near the end — and repeated content was trimmed so it's faster to scan.

    16. New

      Reviews & testimonials

      Visitors can now leave a star-rated review — students, parents, and clients — and it appears on the site right away, in both the reviews wall and the hero.

    17. New

      Interactive learning toolkit in articles

      Articles now support Mermaid diagrams, animated concept visuals (LINQ pipeline, N+1 queries), self-check quizzes with reveal answers, good-vs-bad code comparisons, and color-coded callouts.

    18. New

      Standalone C# playground

      A dedicated /playground page with the Monaco editor and a terminal-style output pane that keeps a history of your runs — the Task Tracker types are preloaded.

    19. Improved

      Terminal-style run output

      Running code from an article now shows a real terminal pane: prompt lines, timestamps, run history, exit codes, and a blinking cursor while compiling.

    20. Improved

      Richer article motion

      Headings, code blocks, and tables reveal as you scroll; the reading progress bar and table-of-contents highlight follow along.

    21. New

      Resume reading

      Articles remember where you stopped. Come back and pick up from your last position with one tap.

    22. Fixed

      Code execution provider

      Switched in-browser C# execution to the Compiler Explorer (godbolt.org) API running .NET 8, after Piston's public API became whitelist-only.

    23. New

      Articles section launched

      Markdown-driven .NET tutorials with syntax highlighting, tag filters, reading time, table of contents, per-article SEO, and runnable C# examples. First article: C#, LINQ, and EF Core Foundations.
