Mckay Wrigley Portfolio
Founder of Takeoff AI; personal site is a technical blog on applied agent engineering, with posts tracking specific model and tool releases like Claude Opus 4.5's agent capabilities and his argument for renaming Claude Code as "Claude Agent."
What makes it work
A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.
Posts anchored to specific tools and versions
Writing about a named model version and a named tool, rather than "AI agents" in the abstract, shows the analysis comes from actually using the current generation of tools, not general commentary.
A specific, arguable technical opinion
Arguing a tool should be renamed based on how its capabilities actually function is a concrete technical position, not a neutral summary — that's what makes a post worth discussing rather than skimming.
Founder identity paired with hands-on technical writing
Being both a startup founder and a hands-on technical writer signals the writing comes from someone building with these tools daily, not observing from the sidelines.
What AI Engineers can take from this
Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.
Anchor your technical posts to specific named tools and versions, not abstract trends — it signals hands-on use over general commentary.
State an actual, arguable technical opinion rather than a neutral summary of a release — it's what makes a post worth discussing.
If you're building a product with the tools you write about, say so — direct, current usage is a credibility signal, not a conflict to hide.
