15  Personal Projects

15.1 Draft focus

This chapter can bridge biography, technical growth, and software identity.

15.2 Candidate threads

• LOICA contributions and notebook-based modeling
• Flapjack API related examples
• automation-oriented projects
• educational mini-libraries spun out of the book itself

15.3 Draft note

Keep this chapter less autobiographical than methodological. The point is to show how projects evolve from learning, collaboration, and research needs.
