I just updated my resume – the latest version of it should be viewable here.

For this iteration of resume-writing I decided to try out the open-source JSON Resume schema and tooling. So far it’s OK. My only complaints are:

  • No markdown export support, despite the docs mentioning it
  • PDF exports are pretty gross
  • Can’t export using a local theme, though there’s an open issue about this

To get a PDF version of my resume I ended up just writing it in markdown and then using pandoc to generate a PDF from that. I’m wondering if just using markdown and pandoc would be a better option in the long term, but we’ll see. It’s nice having a resume under vcs though :)
