What was done

  • David’s headshot: copied .tmp/david.png to src/assets/team/david.png (1.9 MB source PNG). Added import davidImg from "../../assets/team/david.png" plus "david-bailey": davidImg entry to the portraitImages map in both src/pages/about/index.astro (160px lazy team grid) and src/pages/about/[slug].astro (400px eager bio hero). Build verified — dist/_astro/david.*.webp variants emitted at both sizes.
  • Zack’s bio: replaced the prior single-paragraph version with a three-paragraph rewrite supplied by Ryan. New bio leads with education (Iowa State, Biological Systems Engineering) and three years of water resources work in Iowa (stormwater design + modeling, stream restoration). Middle paragraph covers Zack’s Treasure Valley work — multi-easement sites, floodplain, layered regulatory environments, irrigation district fluency. Closing paragraph keeps the original tone for the personal note (golf course “strategic layup,” rivers/trails/backcountry). Edit applied to src/data/team.ts.

Why

Headshot and bio rewrite were provided directly. Image follows the same Shane / Kelli / Ryan / Jonah pattern (drop in assets, add to portraitImages map, Astro pipeline auto-emits optimized webp). Zack’s bio expansion adds the substance (education, water-resources specialization, Treasure Valley fluency) that strengthens his named-author credibility on civil engineering content — particularly stormwater and irrigation-related FAQs, which are exactly the queries Bailey targets in the SEO plan. Five of the most-named team members (Shane, Kelli, Jonah, Ryan, David) now render real portraits; Zack is sixth on the list when a headshot is available.
