Refactor: Replace 3D immersive homepage with SEO-optimized professional SPA

[Copilot]

The site prioritized experimental 3D graphics over discoverability and conversion. Rebuilt homepage as a performant, recruiter-focused landing page for AI Product Management positioning.

Changes

Homepage Transformation

• Replaced React-Three-Fiber 3D scene with static professional layout
• Reduced homepage bundle: 200KB+ → 3.68KB (98% reduction)
• Preserved old 3D experience in pages/index-old-3d.tsx for reference

SEO & Metadata

• Comprehensive meta tags targeting "AI Product Manager" keywords
• JSON-LD Person schema with expertise and social links
• Optimized Open Graph/Twitter Card metadata for LinkedIn sharing
• Canonical URLs and maintained sitemap generation

Mobile Responsiveness

• Hamburger navigation for mobile viewports
• Responsive typography and grid layouts
• Touch-optimized CTAs

Content Architecture

Hero → Core Expertise → Experience → Skills → Recent Thinking → Contact

Each section designed for scan-ability by recruiting professionals:

• Clear value props (10+ years, $10M+ revenue impact, 15+ launches)
• Direct contact CTAs (email, phone, resume link)
• Professional aesthetic with gradient accents

Build Optimization

• Simplified build script (removed embeddings requirement)
• Updated Next.js config (removed 3D-specific optimizations)
• Static generation for all routes

// Complex 3D scene with physics, games, cinematics
<Scene3D world={worldConfig} articles={articles} />

Original prompt

I’m tired of having such an absurd personal website and want to instead do a basics approach refractor! Take what we have as an idea and turn it into a super performant SPA focused on SEO and social traffic to drive recruiters to me for AI product management.
