Lars Schöbitz - website & CV

A data-driven personal website and CV. Content lives in versioned CSV files under data/; a multi-page Quarto website (*.qmd) renders to docs/ for GitHub Pages, and a separate Typst document renders the PDF CV.

This replaces the earlier single-page CV (and, before that, the datadrivencv / pagedown Google Sheet setup). Old files are preserved under archive/.

How it works

data/*.csv  ->  R/cv_functions.R  ->  *.qmd  ->  docs/ (website) + cv.pdf

Every website page is a thin .qmd that sources the R helpers, calls create_cv("data") once, and prints only the sections relevant to that page. The section column in data/entries.csv routes each row to a page.

Pages

Page	Content
index.qmd	About: headshot, intro bio, profile links (trestles template)
research.qmd	Publications, conference papers, technical reports, research interests, field research
software.qmd	Open data & software, grants, awards
teaching.qmd	Courses, workshops, talks
media.qmd	Press and video coverage (from data/media.csv)
blog.qmd	Blog posts as external links
cv.qmd	HTML CV summary with a PDF download button
cv-pdf.qmd	The full Typst CV; renders to cv.pdf. Not part of the website render list.

Data files

• data/entries.csv - every job, project, publication, report, talk. Columns include section (routes to a page), type (article, conference, report, …) and status (blank = published; under review / work in progress render as tags).
• data/media.csv - press/video coverage (outlet, date, kind, title, url).
• data/contact_info.csv, data/language_skills.csv, data/technical_skills.csv, data/text_blocks.csv - supporting data. text_blocks.csv holds the intro bio and the per-page intro and prose blocks (research interests, field research, etc.).
• data/braindump_entries.csv - work-in-progress rows you fill in by hand; rows still containing TODO are skipped automatically.

Assets

• assets/styles.css - site chrome and list patterns (navbar, pub-list, pub-tag, media-list, teaching-table, section-intro, cv-download-btn, skill bars).
• assets/typst-helpers.typ - Typst helpers (Font Awesome contact lines, skill bars, header band) used only by the PDF (cv-pdf.qmd).
• assets/profile-lars-schoebitz.jpg - profile photo (About page and favicon).

Building

./render.sh

This runs two steps: it renders cv-pdf.qmd to cv.pdf at the repo root, then renders the website into docs/ (which picks up cv.pdf as a declared resource so the CV page's download button resolves). The root cv.pdf is a gitignored build intermediate; docs/cv.pdf is the single tracked copy. docs/ is committed and is what Netlify serves.

To refresh harvested source data (optional): Rscript scripts/harvest.R re-pulls ORCID works and GitHub org repos into data/staging/ for review. Curated content stays in data/*.csv.

Deploy

• Netlify serves the pre-built docs/ folder from main (netlify.toml: publish docs, no build command). Merging a PR into main triggers a redeploy.
• Custom domain: www.lse.de (primary) and lse.de, configured in Netlify's domain settings; DNS A records at hosttech point both at Netlify.

Data sources

• Publications, reports, software, datasets: ORCID 0000-0003-2196-5015, cross-checked against the Zotero export data/my-articles.bib.
• Open-data projects & packages: GitHub orgs (openwashdata, rstatsZH, Global-Health-Engineering, ethopen).
• Roles, courses, workshops, education, media: hand-entered (data/BRAINDUMP.md).
