A Data Driven CV for Web Developers

A multi-lingual data driven CV for web developers that keeps track of your experience. Just configure some starting data and you are good to go. The project uses i18n to interpolate markdown files. You can add your own Biography to the /src/data/bio/*.md files.

Goals

  • Version control for your CV
  • Keep track of your skills and experience.
  • Effectively communicate your skills and experience
  • Automatically mark recent experiences.
  • Communicate expectations, growth and benefits.
  • Provide optimized visualization of your information.
  • Provide a indexable / searchable PDF version of the Website.
  • Showcase your language abilities.
  • Highlight your stack.
  • Break down experience by skills.
  • Color Coding and Symbols to increase information density.

Approach

  • The CV is based on your data.
