ORCID iD to researcher profile API

Resolve an ORCID iD to a flattened researcher profile via the ORCID public API: name, biography, country, keywords, external links, summarized employment and education affiliations, plus a works summary (count + most recent titles). The value-add is collapsing ORCID's deeply nested record into one clean schema. Answers 'who is ORCID 0000-0002-1825-0097', 'what has this researcher published', 'where does this researcher work', 'this author's affiliations'.
