What was done

  • Ryan’s bio (src/data/team.ts) rewritten to lead with the platform-ownership framing: ZIG + Project Tracker + the small suite of AEC intelligence-layer platforms with Bailey as anchor tenant. Preserved the operating-principle italic aphorisms (a problem well stated is a problem half solved / to automate himself out of a job) and the markdown link to Dev.IQ. Now three paragraphs instead of two.
  • Kelli’s bio (src/data/team.ts) expanded from a single paragraph to three. New middle paragraph describes the systems she builds (Project Tracker visibility, contract-management-replacing-spreadsheet-and-email stack, cloud billing migration) and adds an italicized operations-philosophy aphorism: Operations is a loop, not a project: measure what matters, reflect honestly, improve deliberately. Original opening + weekend-uphill closer preserved verbatim.
  • Ryan’s headshot swapped from ryan.png to ryan-black.png (per Ryan’s preferred photo). Source dropped at .tmp/plans/about/ryan-black.png, copied to src/assets/team/ryan-black.png, old src/assets/team/ryan.png removed. Both portraitImages map imports (src/pages/about/index.astro and src/pages/about/[slug].astro) updated to point at the new filename. Astro generated fresh ryan-black.*.webp variants under dist/_astro/.

Why

User-supplied content updates. Ryan’s bio reflects the actual scope of his work (he owns the platforms, Bailey is the anchor tenant — not the only tenant). Kelli’s bio surfaces the systems-builder side of her role that the previous one-paragraph framing didn’t capture. The new headshot is Ryan’s preferred photo.
