This is a personal resume/portfolio site. The page itself (`index.html`) is fully server-rendered
from the same data below — no JavaScript required to read skills, experience, education, projects,
or the technology list.

## Data

- [resume.json](https://eswat2.github.io/resume.json): the complete structured resume data
  (profile, skills, experience, education, projects, technology) that this site is generated from.
- [eswat2-mcp](https://eswat2-mcp.vercel.app): JSON discovery root for the personal knowledge base
  this resume is periodically pulled from — a hybrid MCP + REST server exposing 40+ years of career
  history, projects, research, and an art collection. Points to its own `manifest`, `resolve`,
  `render`, and `mcp` endpoints, plus [its own llms.txt](https://eswat2-mcp.vercel.app/llms.txt).

## Site

- [Home](https://eswat2.github.io/): full resume/portfolio page.
- [Knowledge base wiki](https://eswat2-mcp.vercel.app/wiki): human-browsable view of the same
  knowledge base above.
