* Put some effort into the design. Writing plain HTML while also indicating you have run a website and have front-end experience might seem contradictory to a potential employer. A nice font, simple layout and basic responsiveness would go a long way.
* A startup exit, even if small, is a considerable achievement. Consider adding "Acquired by $COMPANY", or if not at liberty to disclose the company name, something like "Acquired by large German corporation".
* Add contact information. If I were to stumble upon your CV online and be interested in hiring you, I should not have to spend time Googling for some way to contact you. Listing your email in the footer is sufficient.
* I assume not getting your degree yet is because of a few pending courses - no need to mention this here. You did the majority of the work and actually completed a thesis project. When you are invited to an interview, disclose it there.
* Some of the stuff you list (machine learning libraries, contributions to poker theory) sound really interesting. Is there anything you could link to here? Blog post, Github, etc.

- This is not meant to be found by potential employers. I just chose the form to show it off here because it seemed to be the easiest way to me. The content is what matters. Additionally, I'd rather not work on front-end anyway :P
- I got bought out by my partner for a decent sum because it was better for us to part ways.
- Sure
- Not getting the degree yet is actually because my health insurance is tied to me being enrolled in university. If I finished the degree, I would be without insurance while requiring treatment, which seemed unfortunate for the time being. All the coursework is done, receiving the degree is practically a formality.
- Not particularly. Github was obviously not a thing back then and I've lost most of it on past computers. I haven't touched poker in almost 7(?) years.
