## About Me
A few sentences about what you work on and what you can help with.
Two things are required: at least one contact field (website, email, github, or linkedin), and some text in the body below the frontmatter.
The profile page shows your website as a link. You can also add email, which shows as a Contact button, so only add it if you want it to be public. The github and linkedin fields are optional and the page does not show them yet.
2. Add your avatar (optional)
Add a profile photo to public/images/experts/your-name.jpg. Use a square image, ideally 400x400px or larger. If you skip this, remove the avatar line and the page shows your initial instead.
3. Check and preview locally
pnpm test tests/expert-validation.test.ts
pnpm dev
# Visit http://localhost:3000/experts/your-name
4. Submit your PR
git checkout -b hacktoberfest/add-your-name
git add content/experts/your-name.md public/images/experts/your-name.jpg
git commit -m "Add [Your Name] to experts directory"
git push origin hacktoberfest/add-your-name
Leave out the image path if you did not add an avatar. Then open a pull request on GitHub.
