refactor project cards, polish experience hover, footer whoami

- projects: drop image area entirely; cards now render as title → tech pills → description → button row. Layout uses flex column with margin-top: auto on .project-links so buttons pin to the bottom and align across cards regardless of description length. Description has a 1.25rem min bottom margin to guarantee gap above buttons.
- experience: add hover lift (translateY + accent glow) matching project cards; add pill: scl to SCLogic entry; drop featured: true from Independent and AWS so only Woven retains the highlighted border
- footer: shorten whoami to "Darian" (single hardcode, kept site.authorFullName for blog/alt text usages)
- assets: remove obsolete my_prep_plan_logo.png
