Goodbye XHTML, Hello Hugo: Migrating my Professional Portfolio

Mon, 04 May 2026 09:00:00 +0200

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The old site was a “mess” of manual HTML files, hardcoded paths, and outdated information.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. I’ve also managed to preserve some of the personal touches from the original site—like the classic ocean-themed GIFs and images that have personal value to me.

I am always open to discussing new projects, ML/HPC opportunities, or climate science consultancy.
