Resume

Single-column, ATS-proof LaTeX resume built on the article class. See .claude/skills/ats-resume/SKILL.md for the authoritative editing guide.

Build

make               # compile resume.pdf (incremental — skipped if up-to-date)
make view          # compile and open the PDF
make watch         # rebuild continuously on save (latexmk -pvc)
make cover-letters # compile every cover-letters/*/cover-letter.tex
make docs          # compile the resume and every cover letter
make clean         # remove build/ artifacts (keeps committed PDFs)
make distclean     # also remove resume.pdf and cover-letter PDFs
make help          # list targets

make is incremental: if resume.pdf is newer than all sources, Make prints Nothing to be done for 'all' and exits. That is correct — there is nothing to rebuild. To force a full rebuild, run make clean && make (or make distclean && make).

Requires a TeX Live distribution with latexmk and pdflatex. Uses standard packages only (lmodern, microtype, geometry, enumitem, titlesec, tabularx, hyperref, glyphtounicode) — no moderncv, no fontspec.

Cover letters

Per-company LaTeX cover letters live under cover-letters/ and share an ATS-proof preamble with the resume. See .claude/skills/ats-cover-letter/SKILL.md for the authoritative editing guide (one-page cap, ragged-right body, posting-anchored opener, no em-dashes).

cover-letters/
├── _common/cover-letter-preamble.tex    # shared preamble + \coverHeader
└── <company-slug>/
    ├── cover-letter.tex                  # per-company source
    ├── cover-letter.pdf                  # committed build output
    └── job-posting.md                    # captured job description

Build every letter with make cover-letters. Internally, the Makefile pattern rule compiles each cover-letters/<slug>/cover-letter.tex via latexmk into build/cover-letters/<slug>/ and copies the resulting cover-letter.pdf next to its source. make distclean also removes the generated letter PDFs.

To add a new cover letter, duplicate an existing <company-slug>/ folder, swap job-posting.md, and rewrite cover-letter.tex following the skill's structure.

ATS verification

pdffonts resume.pdf                                          # every row should show emb yes / uni yes
pdftotext -layout resume.pdf -                               # reading order must be linear, ligatures intact
pdffonts cover-letters/<slug>/cover-letter.pdf               # same check for any cover letter
pdftotext -layout cover-letters/<slug>/cover-letter.pdf -    # confirm 1 page, no em-dashes
