ResumeBuilder

A YAML-driven resume generator that produces an ATS-friendly, single-page PDF resume using Python and WeasyPrint.

Features

• All resume content is maintained in a single resume.yaml file — no HTML or Python edits needed for content changes
• Outputs both HTML and PDF to a configurable output directory (default: generated/)
• ATS-friendly single-column layout
• Output filenames are derived automatically from the profile name in the YAML
• CLI interface with overridable paths

Requirements

• Python >=3.10
• Poetry for dependency management
