Summary

  • Replace the 4.9MB banner PNG with a 1920px WebP (~65KB, ~99% smaller), preload it with high priority, and add a solid teal fallback background so the logo stays readable while it loads
  • Add a role: Alumni convention: people with that role are pulled out of the Team grid into a simple linked-name list at the bottom of the People section
  • Move Dion Osmani to alumni, add Hiten Goel

Test plan

  • python3 build.py regenerates index.html without errors
  • Verified alumni list renders with correct links and Dion no longer appears in the Team grid
  • Served the site locally and confirmed assets/banner.webp loads (66KB, image/webp)

Replace the 4.9MB banner PNG with a 1920px WebP (~65KB), preload it
with high priority, and give the header a solid teal fallback
background so the logo stays readable while the image loads.
Add a `role: Alumni` convention that moves a person out of the Team
grid into a simple linked-name list at the bottom of the People
section. Move Dion Osmani to alumni and add Hiten Goel.
