Website Redesign with AI Assistant


Yesterday I rebuilt this website. Daneel helped.

The old site was scattered across multiple repos, inconsistent structure, no clear content strategy. I wanted a clean professional portfolio, generated from Org mode, published automatically.

What Daneel Did

I gave Daneel my CV (PDF) and told it to:

  1. Extract relevant content
  2. Add it to the Org source file
  3. Write a blog post about its own creation
  4. Fix deployment issues

Within an hour:

  • Profile page populated with education and certifications
  • Experience section with detailed work history (2018–present)
  • Skills page with core competencies
  • Two blog posts written and committed
  • Hugo theme integration debugged and fixed

What I Did

  • Provided direction (“use CV, make it professional”)
  • Reviewed changes before merge
  • Corrected security model in blog post (Daneel has project-specific access, not full system access)
  • Approved final structure

The Difference

Traditional workflow:

  1. Extract text from PDF manually
  2. Format content in Org mode
  3. Write blog posts
  4. Debug Hugo build
  5. Commit and deploy

Hours of context switching.

With Daneel:

  1. “Here’s the CV, populate the site”
  2. Review and approve

The time savings aren’t the point. The point is: I stayed focused on strategy and decisions. Daneel handled execution.

Technical Stack

  • Content: Org mode (single source file)
  • Generator: Hugo + ox-hugo (Org → Markdown)
  • Theme: Beautiful Hugo (directly embedded, not submodule)
  • Deployment: Kubernetes (RKE2) + init containers (git clone → hugo build → nginx)
  • Automation: Daneel (content extraction, debugging, documentation)
