talanov.ca is Kirill Talanov's public consulting flagship and digital garden built on Hugo. It serves as the primary inbound trust anchor for Igloo Interactive, presenting 20+ years of systems engineering, workflow repair, and practical AI tooling in Talanov's documented voice: direct, technically rigorous, allergic to corporate jargon, and sharpened with dry British wit.

Primary inbound consulting authority and digital garden written in Talanov's documented voice.
