I replaced a costly VM-based Discourse forum with a zero-cost Azure Static Web App powered by Hugo and OpenAI Codex. I detail the rationale, savings, automated workflow, and features added—dark mode, client-side search, responsive design, and newsletter integration.

Completed AZ-204 and AZ-400 Azure certifications. Shared 350-question prep sets on GitHub. Integrated Azure API Management into the WTF Model project to improve backend abstraction and security. APIM now manages Azure Functions with proper CORS and auth headers.

Began IP compliance work for Steam release by recreating ~80 assets using AI, documenting all third-party licenses in a summary and licences.json. Added in-app disclaimers and an IP request form with file upload and reCAPTCHA. All measures now integrated into the app.

Upgraded to a modern Intel x64 workstation for AI and video work. Reorganized network: WiFi split by band, OpenWRT set to AP mode, 19" rack now runs DNS, Pi-hole, Chrony, and SMB. Parsec enables single-monitor remote access. Setup is faster, cleaner, and ad-free network-wide.

Streamlined the interface with a new JSON config for colorization and sorting, added hover glow effects, hotkey-based UI toggling, and reworked layout elements. Submitted a Steam Review Guide; awaiting next steps after Steam’s request for full third-party asset documentation.

Submitted WTF build for Steam Store review, including .vdf packaging and split redistributables. Automated forum updates via GitHub Actions Windows Runner. Added change detection to avoid full rebuilds. Cleanup included CSS fixes, logic optimizations, and pipeline tweaks.

Completed Dark Mode using custom GLSL shaders for selective color inversion. Polished UI and CSS, cleaned repo structure. Added RL/RC overlay with mapped impedance, phase, and tau; tied frequency to vortex rotation. Full unit range (femto to peta) supported and tested.

Added keyboard shortcuts with dynamic overlay, full Dark Mode with system detection, and Steam Cloud integration via Steamworks.NET. Language sync added using C#/JS interop. Reworked Relativ display, moved language settings to modal, and enabled DevTools via launch args.

Pushed the WTF Minimal Model live at minimal.wtf-model.com with 50 descriptions and no overlays. Set up forum previews, Steam deployment via WPF/.NET 8, and CI/CD with Azure ACI. Public repo, intro video, and PDF planned for 2025. Full release delayed but progressing well.

Completed Azure's AI-900, DP-900, and SC-900 certifications after years of hands-on use. GPT-4o helped deepen service knowledge like Purview, Intune, CosmosDB, etc. Refuse to pursue further certs due to 12-month recert rules. WTF model release coming in 2024.
