## Work (each one designed and shipped)

- [Voyager](https://paulslash.com/work/voyager): Starknet's block explorer. Three years shipping its interface: core pages redesigned, a staking dashboard and chart suite built from scratch with full mobile parity, and an in-repo AI-aware design system (anatomy pages, live properties panel, consumer logging) the team uses instead of Storybook. Live: https://voyager.online (note: sits behind bot protection and may 403 to non-browser agents; the case page and screenshots are the record)
- [AuditAgent](https://paulslash.com/work/auditagent): Nethermind's AI smart-contract auditor. Full app UI rebuilt code-first on a design system living in the product repo; AI agents read the live code, so the repo became the prototype. Also the marketing site. Live: https://auditagent.nethermind.io
- [Boop](https://paulslash.com/work/boop): Launch site for a palm-vein identity scanner. Hand-coded Three.js and GSAP: a 3D device replica, simulated scan states, scroll-driven story. Live: https://boop.it
- [Aztec](https://paulslash.com/work/aztec): Wallet interface and design system built with the product team, a live in-app theme editor, a flows canvas rendering every screen from code, and the shipped Aztec Governance staking dashboard. Live: https://aztecgov.nethermind.io
- [Nethermind Deck System](https://paulslash.com/work/decks): The brand design system turned into an MCP server and a Claude Skill; the whole team generates on-brand decks by asking. Internal.
- [I.R.I.S.](https://paulslash.com/work/iris): Concept, art direction, and avatar for an AI security agent; AI image pipeline, directed by hand.

## The site itself

- [Design system](https://paulslash.com/ds): the site's own living design system (primitives, semantics, components with consumer logs), same discipline as the client work.
- [Dev mode](https://paulslash.com/terminal): the portfolio as a CLI. A static transcript is served in the HTML for non-JS agents; the interactive version needs JavaScript.
- [AI notes](https://paulslash.com/ai): what this site exposes for agents.
