After many years of serving me well, my old XHTML-based website—handcrafted during my postdoc days at the University of Leeds—has finally been retired. Why the change? The old site was a ā€œmessā€ of manual HTML files, hardcoded paths, and outdated information. As a Senior Research Engineer at BSC, I needed something that: Reflects my current role in Climate Modelling and HPC. Is Low Maintenance: I want to spend my time on research, not on debugging broken HTML tags. Is Data-Driven: My CV is now automatically generated from the same YAML files I use for my TeX-based CV. What’s new? I’ve moved to Hugo with the PaperMod theme. It’s fast, minimal, and doesn’t require a complex Ruby environment like Jekyll.
