Interests
---------

* Creating beautiful resumés from simple Markdown documents


Work Experience
---------------

* **Markdown with Pandoc**

Resumé Architect, February 2011 - present
* **Word Processor** (Redmond, WA)

- Write in one format (Markdown), convert to many formats (PDF, HTML, .odt,
.docx, and more)
Junior Resumé Maker, 2006 - 2007

- Style your HTML with CSS and your PDF with a custom \LaTeX\ header
- Intermingled presentation and content

- Uses `resume.py`, a simple pre-processor that lets you extract parts of
the Markdown and define per-format operations on these parts. For
example, extract the contact info and put it in a right-aligned block in
the top right in both HTML and PDF (\LaTeX).
- Styling was a pain, so either didn't do it or found a half-decent
template and didn't mess with it

- You get a text-based resumé for free if you need one in a pinch for a web
form somewhere
* **\LaTeX\ + pdflatex**

- Maintain different contexts of your resumé on different Github branches
Senior Resumé Maker, 2008 - 2010

* **LinkedIn, StackOverflow Careers**
- Edited verbose \LaTeX\ documents in a text editor

- Mixed content and presentation to achieve pixel-perfection

Resumé Intern, August 2010
- Installed and configured the unusual TeX setups required by the
best-looking \LaTeX\ resumés

- PDF export is not very customizable
* **LinkedIn, StackOverflow Careers, vizualize.me, etc**

- Lots of stuff you don't want or need
Web Resumé Intern, August 2010

* **LaTeX + pdflatex**
- Entered data, adapting to different data models and formatting
limitations

Senior Resumé Maker, 2008 - 2010
- Attempted to customize PDF exports and remove default resumé elements,
to no avail

- Lots of markup obscures your content, even if it is largely semantic
instead of presentational
* **Markdown with Pandoc**

- The best-looking \LaTeX\ resumés require unusual TeX setups
Resumé Architect, February 2011 - present

* **Word Processor** (Redmond, WA)
- Write in one format (Markdown), convert to many formats (PDF, HTML, ODT,
DOCX, and more)

Junior Resumé Maker, 2006 - 2007
- Style HTML output with CSS and PDF output with a custom \LaTeX\ header

- No separation of presentation and content
- Use a simple pre-processor to define per-format operations on the
Markdown input or its parts, such as moving contact information to the
top right of the page in both HTML and PDF output.

- Have to "print to PDF" anyway
- Use a text-based resumé when needed in a pinch

- Styling is a pain, so you either don't do it or find a half-decent
template and don't mess with it
- Use version control, including free hosting on Github
