A hand-drawn style timeline plots education and work history as two horizontal streams on opposite sides of a central axis, with personal events marked as vertical dashes below. The SVG visualization uses D3.js for scales, axes, and data binding, while Rough.js renders the sketch-like aesthetic. Labels for each period identify employers and degrees, and event annotations include dates and short descriptions. The code defines data arrays for education, work, and events, mapping them to time-encoded positions along the x-axis.
