Work experience entries are defined in src/constants/work.js and exported as the workExperience array. The home page renders them inside <Work> components, showing 2 by default with a toggle to reveal all 6.

​
Experience data shape

Each entry is a plain object: 
{
    title: string,     // Job title and company, typically formatted as "Role at Company:"
    text: string,      // Short description of responsibilities (optional on some entries)
    image: string,     // Cloudinary URL for company logo or related image
    timeLine: string   // Date range and location, e.g. "May - August 2023. Seattle, WA"
}
Images are hosted on Cloudinary under the dlk3ezbal cloud. The image field is a full Cloudinary URL.
