About this chart
Each axis is a functional pillar; the orange area is where my focus went, and the purple how much of that work was AI-augmented. That AI layer is where tools sped up implementation - architecture, code review, and the quality bar stay mine. I treat AI as a precision tool with strict conventions, not auto-pilot.
