Generate structured CV from standardly formatted json data structure

Suggestion overview

While the [current CV format/Page](https://academicpages.github.io/cv/) is certainly sufficient and gets the job done, it may be possible to improve the structure and aesthetics of the page *while also* streamlining the process of updating this page. Specifically, **there may be value in developing a standardized format for CVs (i.e., json based) and an associated CV page style and formatting script**.

As an example of what can be achieved with this, folks can take a look at what I've tinkered up for my CV:

Foreseen Task Breakdown and Challenges

I fully recognize that it is highly unlikely that a single standard would meet all needs. I tried to find an existing CV/resume format or standard that could fulfill this role (e.g., something that works with USAjobs.gov) but nothing seemed viable. To that end I developed what I felt was a fairly generalized and extensible json framework (example [here](https://github.com/DanNBullock/DanNBullock.github.io/blob/master/_data/curriculumVitae.json)) and a [corresponding html template](https://github.com/DanNBullock/DanNBullock.github.io/blob/master/_pages/cv-html-template_2.html) to make use of this content.

Although the examples I provided may prove to be of use as a starting point, I don't expect them to be what the majority of the community here needs. To that end, I suspect **there will need to be some coordinated process of developing an acceptable generalized and extensible framework for _both_ the data structure and the css/html layout**.

Admittedly, the use of a intermediary json data structure may not be to many user's liking and so it may be warranted to have a failover condition that presents the conventionally produced and structured markdown-based CV in the event that no appropriate json CV data structure is found.

Closing

If I can be of assistance with this process just let me know--I've greatly appreciated the resource that this repo/page has provided and I would be quite pleased if I could contribute back.
