Updates
A running log of updates across open-source software, datasets, templates, and tools. Track releases, changes, and progress across projects in one place.
This page tracks notable updates, releases, and additions across my projects, including open source software, datasets, templates, and supporting infrastructure.
It serves as a lightweight, public changelog — designed to make development more visible and easier to follow over time.
Updates are intentionally concise and focused on tangible progress rather than commentary.
