Probably an unpopular opinion but:

LinkedIn is a closed, for-profit service. If you don't have an account, you can't see someone else's profile.
I do not have LinkedIn. I can't see your profile.

If you are job/internship/PhD hunting I recommend having an open online presence!

Any suggestions on a good reference to make a Quarto/GitHub webpage?
Should be easy, but there is something I am not quite getting!
(Maybe I should sit down to do it more seriously, but it should not be THAT difficult...)

I wrote an example website that uses GitHub actions to deploy itself. So you only need to push the edited markdown.

I also have a codeberg example, but bitrot seems to have broken something. Happy to receive a fix!

Thanks for sharing!!

The official https://quarto.org/docs/websites/ is pretty good.

And you can search the web (GitHub) for other people's website's source code, and use that as a starter.

E.g. https://github.com/Huber-group-EMBL/Huber-group-EMBL.github.io powers https://www.huber.embl.de/group/

A lot of the info on Github about how to use the default themes to make pages is out of date. This video has up to date instructions. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D9CLhQdLp8w

Here's a template to make an academic website using #Quarto_pub hosted for free on GitHub

Just modify the quarto files (basically plain markdown) and the website will update automatically
