resume

Source Code🛠️🎓

Built by humans, for humans.

The included source code is my unedited resume source, with Personally Identifiable Information (PII) filtered out.

This is effectively a mirror of a reference resume repository. That reference repository contains the PII, assets, and production resume PDFs. For consistent terminology:

• This external mirror is called the public repository
• The internal reference is called the private repository

LaTeX

LaTeX is chosen, as its typesetting, programming features, and difficulty-of-use is unparalleled. General rules of thumb:

• Use math mode for all numbers, preferably bold.
• Columns ~< 120

Relevant docs:

• FontAwesome
• Math
• siunitx
• xcolor

Alternatives Considered

(.i.e., why not just use X?)

The only alternative considered was ModernCV, but a custom solution was created to fit content to a single page more efficiently.

There is an argument to be made that resume scanning software used is optimized for Word, Docs, Pages. However, if a company is disregarding candidates because their CMS couldn’t handle LaTeX resumes, maybe I too want to be in the discard pile. Resumes built for humans vs. resumes built for algorithms have wildly different objectives; I side with the humans.

Built by humans, for humans.

makefile

There are two main make commands that are relevant:

• make all or make builds all the resume targets
• make clean cleans all the artifacts

There are several “targets”, laid out by booleans in the LaTeX source. Enabling booleans changes the behaviors of the resume.

• ntk Need-To-Know, usually containing Personally Identifiable Information such as phone numbers, addresses, or even dates. The ifthenelse is wrapped from easy filtering. See makefile for more information.
• displaycv Expands to include all the public content, for easy previewing.
• displaycontact Outputs the un-censored phone numbers, addresses, etc. This is different from “ntk”, as controls solely contact fields and not the whole resume.
• displaycolor Swaps in high-quality color logos with comparable quality FontAwesome icons.
• displaycensored Censors any identifiable information. Intended to review resume without employer bias or to provide anonymous feedback.

All dependencies are listed here.

Assets

Assets with copyright implications (images, fonts, logos) is not included, for copyright and respect of others.

However, here are sources you can get these:

• Lovelo
• FontAwesome
• Flags

Directory Structure

The source code is unedited, however the directory structure is.

• For this public repository the output files in this directory are all bundled under the src.
• For the private repository, the makefile is at the top level while the rest of the source is in the src folder.
