The CV download link references 'cv.pdf' which doesn't exist in the repository yet. While the note on line 530-532 mentions this requirement, consider adding a TODO comment in the HTML near this link for better visibility during code review.

The placeholder 'YOUR_FORM_ID' in the form action needs to be replaced with an actual Formspree form ID before the contact form will function. While documented in the note below, this is a critical configuration step that should be completed before deployment.
