Personal academic website of Vaibhav Shukla — astrophysicist and data scientist.

Live site: https://whyvav.github.io

Built with the Academic Pages Jekyll template (itself a fork of the Minimal Mistakes theme). Hosted via GitHub Pages — pushing to main triggers .github/workflows/jekyll-pages.yml, which builds the site with this repo's own Gemfile/Ruby version and deploys it. Progress is visible under the repo's Actions tab ("Deploy Jekyll site to Pages").
