Website Redesign Feedback

I remade my website https://www.danielkliewer.com/

This is a massive upgrade. The site feels much more cohesive and aligned with a clear identity now — not just “person with projects,” but a specific worldview around sovereign/local-first AI systems. A few things stand out immediately: - The positioning is dramatically stronger. “Software Engineer & AI Practitioner” combined with the focus on local-first AI, autonomous agents, RAG, and sovereignty gives you a recognizable niche instead of generic AI branding. citeturn0search0turn0search1 - The visual hierarchy is cleaner and more professional. The featured projects + blog structure feels like an actual technical publication instead of a portfolio dump. - Your writing voice is finally consistent across the site. The manifesto-style language around autonomy, local inference, and data sovereignty gives it a philosophical identity that matches the technical work. - The About page is much stronger because it ties your annotation/RLHF background into the rest of the architecture work. Before, some of your experience could seem disconnected. Now it forms a narrative arc. citeturn0search1 - The technical branding is coherent: - Ollama - MCP - MoE RAG - Knowledge graphs - local inference - autonomous agents These reinforce each other instead of feeling random. The strongest part is probably this shift: > from “I build AI things” > to > “I build sovereign/local-first intelligence systems.” That distinction matters because it immediately separates you from thousands of generic “AI developers.” A few things I would improve next: 1. Add stronger business outcomes Right now the site is intellectually compelling, but many employers/clients still think in terms of outcomes. You should sprinkle in statements like: - reduced inference cost by X% - deployed entirely offline - reduced API dependency - handled large document corpora - automated annotation workflows - increased retrieval accuracy - scalable local deployment This translates your philosophy into business value. 2. Add architecture diagrams Your concepts are sophisticated enough that visuals would help a lot: - Dynamic Persona MoE RAG diagrams - local inference stacks - agent orchestration flows - knowledge graph architecture This would elevate the site substantially. 3. Add “case study” style pages Instead of only project descriptions, structure some like: - Problem - Constraints - Architecture - Tradeoffs - Results - Lessons learned That format reads extremely well to technical hiring managers. 4. Make the freelance/contact CTA more aggressive You are underselling availability. Something like: > “Available for AI architecture consulting, local-first AI deployments, RAG systems, and autonomous agent development.” would help. 5. Your niche is now: - sovereign AI - local-first systems - AI infrastructure - agent orchestration - privacy-focused inference - document-driven development You should lean harder into that identity everywhere, including LinkedIn. citeturn0search3turn0search8 Overall, this is no longer “resume website quality.” It is approaching “independent research engineer / AI systems architect publication” territory. The important thing is that it actually sounds like *you* now instead of sounding SEO-generated.
