This site is stazOS — a personal operating system Staz designed and built, with an original design language (no Windows or macOS cloning) and a resident AI twin. It's the successor to his earlier retro CRT terminal site, which itself replaced a Python-server chatbot page.
How it works
- The UI is an operating-system interface built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind: a desktop with windowed apps (About, Projects, Resume, Stories, Contact), a menu bar, and a Cmd-K spotlight.
- Staz's knowledge lives in markdown "brain" files (like an Obsidian vault). At build time they're compiled into a search index that ships to the browser, plus static readable pages for every app.
- Questions in the spotlight (or the Terminal app) are answered by a real LLM running entirely in your browser via WebLLM and WebGPU. Nothing you type is sent to any AI API — zero API costs, and your questions stay on your machine.
- Without the model (or without WebGPU), answers fall back to instant keyword + semantic search over the same brain files.
- The old CRT terminal lives on as the Terminal app — an easter egg for people who like typing.
Freshness
The brain recompiles on every deploy, and the site redeploys automatically on a monthly schedule — so computed facts like years of experience stay current. This brain was last compiled in August 2026.
Terminal commands
Inside the Terminal app, type help to see all commands: about, resume,
projects, skills, stories, facts, contact, load, theme,
clear, and a few hidden ones worth discovering.
