Re-grounded the site as a studio (not a personal portfolio). Added the client portal scaffolding (intake → project → invoices → docs).
Rewrote the homepage spine, introduced film-poster section titles, launched /pov as the studio's point of view, rewrote the founder origin.
Picked a clear pricing lane. Added Studio Engagement (the embedded retainer), rewrote /pricing to lead with it, kept Project and Consult as supporting modes.
Added the studio hero motion sequence, branded portrait treatment, and the artifact galleries on case studies.
Replaced the contact form with a typed three-mode intake (Studio / Project / Consult), wired to Supabase for persistence and Resend for transactional email.
Tightened the small things — typography rhythm, motion timing, dark-on-dark contrast, micro-interactions on cards and buttons.
Built /trust as a real-receipts page: live status, what we promise vs. what we deliver, how we handle data, and the things we explicitly don't do.
Canonical hostname standardized on www.sageideas.dev, title duplication removed sitewide, OG image added to /stack, /insights → /blog and /rss.xml → /feed.xml redirects, evidence strip on /trust, beefed-up /lab grid, "Latest writing" block on the homepage, contact face + four-step expectation timeline, and this changelog page.
New pricing system: nine tiers, an 8×4 capability matrix, and Care retainers for ongoing site/brand/content care.
References section now lists only real, verifiable items. Removed any cert "year earned" that wasn't accurate.
Killed every recruiter-era phrase across the site. Rewrote /founder around the studio approach and the kind of work I take on.
Each service now has its own cinematic pipeline visual. Added App Development as a stand-alone tier.
Headshot rendering, scheduler edge cases, copy interpolation, label spacing.
Filled in real live URLs, fixed broken nav targets, tightened SEO meta, removed metrics that couldn't be verified.
Six ugly auto-generated PNGs swapped for hand-tuned SVGs that match the site theme.
A full pass to delete anything that overstated what the studio is. If a number couldn't be sourced, it got cut.
Live market data dashboard with WebSocket streaming and chart synchronization.
A pragmatic SaaS starter (auth, billing, dashboard, marketing site) joins The Lab. Brings the recent product additions to five.
Reusable AWS infrastructure modules: VPC, IAM landing zone, GitHub OIDC, CI runners.
Documented the algorithmic trade engine and its state machine.
Schema.org markup, clean slugs, working RSS feed, social-share imagery for every page.
Four industry-specific pages (fintech, healthtech, SaaS, agencies) with their own challenges, engagements, and proof.
AlphaStream, AWS Landing Zone, CI/CD pipeline, Nexural ecosystem, Trade Engine state machine — all real, all rendered as SVG.
Hand-tuned blog cover art for every post — themed to the site, no stock imagery.
A small CLI for ergonomic scripting, with a tested plugin system.
Category filters now reflect real counts. Sitemap covers every page. CTAs point to the right places.
Direct booking from contact and services pages with no third-party redirect.
Finished the editorial backlog — 50 long-form posts on systems, fintech, AI, testing, and infrastructure.
Full visual rebuild — type system, color tokens, motion library, component primitives.
The quality dashboard now pulls live AWS telemetry through a hardened proxy with a verification gate.
Documented operational reliability practice with real incident-drill artifacts (game day reports, runbooks).
Live security scan results, a synthetic monitor running every five minutes, and the flagship landing-zone blueprint as a downloadable artifact.
New primitives for /artifacts and the quality dashboard — downloadable evidence cards, live-status pills, metric trend lines.
The site itself ships as IaC — every component (Next.js app, newsletter, telemetry pipeline, API routes) defined in Terraform.
Strengthened the landing-zone case study and promoted it to the homepage as the flagship engagement example.
