Ryan Batubara's Resume

My data-driven resume in LaTeX. The resume template is Jake's Resume, by Jake Gutierrez. The parsers are mine.

🔖 Why?

I wanted a single "source of truth" for my pdf resume and website. I could have written a LaTeX parser, but .tex is generally not a good way to store data. Thus, I put the data in Astro-header-like makrdown .md documents, so both my LaTeX resume and website can read from the same data source.

🛠️ How to use

I have no idea why anyone but myself would want to build this resume from source.

1. Install the python packages. Make a venv if you want.
2. Run python3 build_resume.py.

That's it. Running parse_data.py prints the LaTeX output sections.
