This PR resets the CV to a clean template state with generic placeholder content, removing all personalized information and reverting to a baseline configuration.

Summary

The CV has been reset from Max Clayton Clowes' detailed professional CV to a generic template using "Joe Bloggs" as a placeholder. This appears to be preparing the repository as a reusable CV template for others to customize.

Key Changes

  • Metadata updates: Changed all domain references from cv.mcclowes.com to cv.joebloggs.com, updated social meta tags, and replaced structured data with minimal placeholder information
  • Content replacement: Replaced detailed experience (Product Director at Codat, Product Manager roles) with generic software engineering positions (Frontend Engineer at Pollen, Workshare, and Codogo)
  • Removed styling: Stripped out the entire CSS stylesheet from the HTML <style> tag, leaving only font imports
  • Simplified structure: Removed decorative SVG icons from section headers, removed awards section, and condensed the "About Me" section to generic placeholder text
  • Social links: Changed Twitter handle from @mcclowes to undefined and removed LinkedIn profile link
  • Removed download functionality: Deleted the PDF download link button that was previously fixed to the page
  • Updated contact info: Changed from email/website/LinkedIn to email/phone/website format with placeholder phone number

Implementation Details

The CSS file (src/styles/cv.css) was also updated with adjusted color variables (darker greens and a new --color-darker-offwhite variable), though the inline styles in the HTML were completely removed, making these CSS changes largely unused in the current state.

The README.md was updated to reflect the new template content, duplicating the CV content as it appears in the HTML.
