As a Senior Research Engineer at BSC, I needed something that:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Reflects my current role</strong> in Climate Modelling and HPC.</li> <li><strong>Is Low Maintenance:</strong> I want to spend my time on research, not on debugging broken HTML tags.</li> <li><strong>Is Data-Driven:</strong> My CV is now automatically generated from the same YAML files I use for my TeX-based CV.</li> </ol> <h3 id="whats-new">What&rsquo;s new?</h3> <p>I&rsquo;ve moved to <strong>Hugo</strong> with the <strong>PaperMod</strong> theme. It&rsquo;s fast, minimal, and doesn&rsquo;t require a complex Ruby environment like Jekyll. I&rsquo;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.</p>
