Built with my own system

This portfolio is powered by a custom editor I built.

Beyond the public site, I built a private Portfolio Studio that lets me control the real website like production software: desktop and mobile layouts, copy, reels, pitch decks, social links, visibility switches, live previews, and deployment controls from one place.

The newest layer is an agentic BEO Co-Pilot connected through NVIDIA endpoint routing, so the editor can audit the site, understand the current tab, make structured safe edits, and push updates into the live preview while I keep creative control.
