Project Overview

This project allows a user to generate/build a resume (CV) PDF from website content and host a resume website put together from json files using Hugo. This reduces the duplication needed to keep a separate resume from website content updated. Sections can be hidden using certain key-value pairs.

The resume PDF rebuilds each time there is a change and can used on a wide array of free static hosting providers such as GitHub Pages, CloudFlare Pages, Netlify, and more!

This project shifted from using provider runners for build to github actions as the software stack is a little more reliable and predictable. Using headless Chromium for resume pdf generation seemed to cause issues with CloudFlare runners.

There was a decision to keep the website as light as possible, therefore frameworks such as React were not utilized. Lightbox and jQuery only load on the pages they are utilized.

Resume Website for Karl Haworth using Hugo

Resume website for Karl Haworth using Hugo as a static site generator (SSG) with Tailwind and Sass for styling. Go-Rod is used to create a PDF from the generated content which serves as a resume using print media styling. A makefile is used to simplify the commands needed to generate the content.

Using GitHub as a code repository and CloudFlare Pages to build and host this website. ($0) Using CloudFlare DNS. ($0) Using CloudFlare Domains to purchase domain at cost. (~$8/yr)

Intent

For myself, this creates a marketable and favorable image during search results. The generation allows resume content to be intermingled with other content that might not be found elsewhere, while offering an easy print layout that serves as a resume.

The intent is to keep this simple to update and host as well as cheap to run.

Move from 11ty

Previously a static stie generator named 11ty was used. With 11ty, the image processing was extra, the scripts grew and were not friendly, and the freedom of choice with 11ty made things more complicated than they needed to be. Hugo seemed to provide a more opinionated route making for less scripts which resulted in what feels like a better project structure and less pieces to manage.

Bootstrap was used however many hacks were needed to make it appear the way I wanted, while tailwind provided less opinionated defaults.

Print styles produce PDF resume. Best printed in Chrome.
