#ian's resume (forked from harperreed)

##Harper's explanation and docs:

I authored my resume in HTML around 2002. It wasn't out of date, but I wasn't satisfied with how the data was stored. I needed something that allowed me to generate multiple versions without effort. I also wanted to be able to curate my resume the same way that I curate the rest of my data.

The first time I thought about doing this was after seeing my friend Anders' resume in yaml (his brother Morgan's resume is in protobufs (they are a crazy family)). Anders' resume made sense. And reading about Morgan's thoughts behind his protobuf resume made me think of converting my resume to yaml.

I then ran into Ming-Ho Yee's repo that had a nice ruby script to generate HTML and TEX from yaml. I "forked" the repo, built my resume in yaml and migrated my old HTML resume to the ERB template.

A couple of notes:

  • I really liked how Ming-Ho Yee separated out the private data into its own yaml file.
  • When using LaTeX, I have no idea what I am doing. Apparently I need to figure that out if i want to generate PDF files.
  • I currently only need HTML and Markdown

####That is it.

Obviously

This is not the resume of Harper Reed, but despite that, If you use any of this - please remove my identity from your resume.yaml.
