refactor(ui): simplify hero, drop heavy animations, feature TTNN dashboard#61
Merged
Conversation
…ashboard Tightens the home page to look more like a professional portfolio: - Hero: collapse 4 background layers to 1 mesh gradient, drop infinite pulse/wave/blink loops, simplify copy and CTAs, title is plain "Software Engineer" - Backgrounds: remove AnimatedParticles, FloatingElements, and CursorTrail (~370 lines of decorative loops that hurt scroll perf and felt noisy) - index.html: drop the no-longer-needed GitHub Pages SPA redirect shim and public/404.html - Projects: swap featured to TTNN Eltwise Performance Tracker (actively developed); move PR Reviewer to Additional Projects - index.css: scope surface transitions instead of using a global selector hammer; switch *:focus to *:focus-visible

Pull request overview
This PR streamlines the portfolio home page UI by removing several continuously-running decorative animations, simplifying the hero section content, and updating the featured project to the TTNN dashboard. It also removes GitHub Pages-specific SPA redirect plumbing now that deployment is handled via Cloudflare Workers Builds.
Changes:
- Simplified the hero section and reduced animation intensity (single mesh gradient background; simpler CTAs and social interactions).
- Removed background/cursor animation components and related exports/usages to reduce scroll/render overhead.
- Updated metadata/copy (“Software Engineer”) and promoted “TTNN Eltwise Performance Tracker” as the featured project; removed GitHub Pages SPA redirect shim (index.html + public/404.html).

Current Wrangler defaults preview_urls to off, so every CF Workers Build silently resets the dashboard setting back to disabled. Pinning it in config keeps PR preview URLs working without manual re-enabling.
