• index.qmd — homepage with profile photo layout, bio, news table
• research.qmd — research areas (systems security, distributed systems, applied ML) in styled cards
• publications.qmd — publications grouped by type (conference, workshop, preprint) with per-entry PDF/code/slides links
• cv.qmd — education, experience, awards, teaching, service, skills
• posts/ — blog listing (Quarto listing type) + inaugural post
• styles/custom.scss — custom SCSS: profile circle, publication card layout, CV timeline rows, dark mode overrides
• .github/workflows/publish.yml — renders on push to main, uploads _site/ artifact, deploys to GitHub Pages via actions/deploy-pages
• .gitignore — excludes _site/ and .quarto/ build artifacts

To activate deployment

Go to Settings → Pages → Source → GitHub Actions in the repository.
