docs: humanize documentation and update architecture

- content/about.md: Rewrite with first-person voice, remove
  "next-generation" and "craft tools that emphasize" patterns.
  Add personality ("probably more than it should").

- content/collab.md: More direct language, remove "find value in"
  and "broader community" hedging. Shorter bullet lists.

- AGENTS.md: Remove "state-of-the-art", update architecture tree
  to reflect current modules (config, feed, templates), fix
  stale config section to show actual site.toml usage.

I'm Tim DeHerrera (nrdxp), an engineer at [IOG](https://iog.io) where I help develop interoperable blockchain infrastructure for the Cardano ecosystem.
I'm Tim DeHerrera (nrdxp), an engineer at [IOG](https://iog.io) where I work on blockchain infrastructure for the Cardano ecosystem.
As co-founder of the [Ekala Project](https://github.com/ekala-project), I'm building next-generation tooling for reproducible builds and declarative systems.
I co-founded the [Ekala Project](https://github.com/ekala-project) to build better tooling for reproducible builds and declarative systems.
With a decade of experience in distributed systems, build infrastructure, and network optimization, I craft tools that emphasize reproducibility and determinism. My engineering approach leverages expressive type systems and functional programming paradigms, with current focus on the Rust and Nix ecosystems.
I've spent about a decade working on distributed systems, build infrastructure, and network optimization. I mostly work in Rust and Nix these days, though I'll pick up whatever gets the job done. Reproducibility and determinism matter to me—probably more than they should.
