# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Alexandre Gustave Eiffel graduated from École Centrale des Arts et Métiers and built his reputation engineering bridges for French railways, most notably the Garabit Viaduct. His company designed the Eiffel Tower for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris, the structure that would carry his name into permanence. He also contributed to building the Statue of Liberty in New York. After retiring from engineering, he turned to meteorology and aerodynamics, making significant contributions to both fields before his death in 1923.
