feat(v3): reposition as established/in-demand (external-persona panel)
Details
A second 5-reviewer panel role-playing external viewers (big-corp CTO,
startup CTO, recruiter, tech-bro, founder-CEO) found the substance read
senior but the packaging read job-seeker. This revises the framing on their
high-consensus feedback, while keeping every claim honest:
- hero leads with field impact + industry (Dell/Intel) and a thesis "bet"
line; primary CTA is now the work ("See the work"), not the CV; removed the
CV button, the "last updated" stamp, and the reply-SLA (job-seeker tells)
- new high "proof bar" under the hero: 9 papers, 18 awards, AAAI/ICLR/NeurIPS,
national NAIRR/NSF ACCESS HPC, and affiliations (Harvard Galileo, USC ICT,
ASU, Dell, Intel, AAAI 2026 reviewer) — credibility scannable in seconds
- projects rewritten capability-first (what the system does), provenance
demoted; PyDiffGame shows a live GitHub stars badge (real social proof)
- "Now" reframed as a forward mission (verifiable AI), not a reading list
- contact: removed the latency promise; confident, selective copy
- advisor/PhD framing demoted from the hero (still in About)
Career intent (industry/founder) deliberately kept off the site per the brief.
