---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This project — including, but not limited to, all HTML, CSS, JavaScript,
Python, Go, TypeScript, and other source code, the design, layout, visual
style, written content, copy, wording, structured data (JSON-LD), images,
logos, icons, graphics, assets, and any other material contained in this
repository or published page ("the Work") — is the personal, private
property of the author.

1. NO RIGHTS GRANTED

   No license, right, or permission of any kind is granted to any person or
   entity to use, copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, merge,
   distribute, sublicense, sell, resell, reuse, reference, derive from, or
   create derivative works from the Work, in whole or in part, for any
   purpose whatsoever, whether commercial or non-commercial.

   Any and all use of the Work is strictly prohibited without the express,
   prior written consent of the author.

2. DISPLAY ONLY

   The Work is made publicly available solely for the purpose of personal
   display, demonstration, and professional visibility. Viewing the Work in
   a web browser is permitted. Nothing else is permitted.

   Public availability does NOT constitute, and must not be interpreted as,
   a grant of any rights to the Work.

   incorporate any part of the Work into your own projects, websites,
   portfolios, products, or publications, in whole or in part.

WHY THIS LICENSE EXISTS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This project is not open source, and it is not shared for public use. It is
a strictly personal and private portfolio that represents the author's own
identity, professional history, personal likeness, and body of work.

It is protected for the following reasons:

- PERSONAL IDENTITY & PRIVACY
  The Work contains the author's real name, likeness (photographs and
  imagery), professional history, credentials, and personal details. These
  are private and personal assets that must not be reproduced or reused
  elsewhere.

- AUTHENTICITY OF THE PORTFOLIO
  The Work is a live, publicly hosted portfolio. Unrestricted copying would
  allow others to reproduce the author's professional identity and work
  as their own, creating confusion, misrepresentation, and potential fraud.

- PROTECTION OF EFFORT & CRAFT
  The design, content, and engineering were created and refined by the
  author over many years. Allowing free reuse would effectively give away
  the author's professional output and reduce its value.

- PROTECTION AGAINST MISUSE
  Unrestricted redistribution could result in the Work being modified,
  misrepresented, or associated with content or purposes the author does
  not endorse or control.

If you wish to use any part of the Work — for collaboration, licensing,
consulting, or any other purpose — please contact the author directly.
