Why I rebuilt my site with Quarto, and how it is organised.

After many years on a hand-made template, this site is now built with Quarto. The goals were modest and deliberately unglamorous: plain Markdown authoring, native support for Python and notebooks, reproducible computational outputs via freezing, and a static result I can host for free on GitHub Pages.

The structure is simple — Home, About, Publications, Teaching, Projects, and these Notes. Publications are generated from a single BibTeX file, so keeping the list current means editing one file. Each research project keeps its own repository and environment; their pages are thin wrappers that either run the code (and freeze the result) or embed pre-built figures.

More to come.
