  1# The resume, as data.

  3# The Next.js era kept this as Markdown with YAML frontmatter and parsed the
  4# body with `marked`, then had to recognise entry headings and date lines by
  5# regular expression to decide what each paragraph meant. That guessing is what
  6# the structure below removes: a role, its dates and its bullets are named
  7# fields, so the template never has to infer them from how a line is written.

  9# Em dashes are kept in this file. Workspace prose does not use them, but
 10# this file is not prose, it is a published document whose typography is being
 11# reproduced exactly.
