 Why This Template?

Most academic CVs are static PDFs that get lost in the pile. This is an always-on portfolio that works 24/7 to advance your career:

- Students & grads applying to top labs and industry roles — stand out with a living portfolio, not a flat PDF
- Researchers who want a citable online presence with publications, projects, and talks in one place
- Faculty & PIs showcasing their lab, group news, and team members
- Anyone with publications who wants auto-imported citations from BibTeX/DOI without manual formatting

 "My citations went up 3x after switching to this template. Colleagues started finding my work through Google Scholar links back to my site. The BibTeX auto-sync is a lifesaver."
 — Dr. Li Zhang, AI Research Scientist

 "I set this up during a weekend and my PhD students had their profiles live by Monday. They just edit Markdown — no tickets to IT, no WordPress logins."
 — Prof. Sarah Chen, Computer Science, ETH Zürich
