Backstory
I've just been made redundant 😢 (Aug '24), which I am gutted about. I've never been laid off before, and I loved my job and the people I worked with. So I'm now on the market, looking for a new role!

I've kept my CV/resume very brief, in an attempt respect the hiring manager's time. But in short, I'm an experienced, Principle-level full stack engineer with a love for quality, performance, mentoring, tech and open source. The best judge of a developer is their code, and while I cannot share what I've done professional or for private clients, I have got many open source projects on my GitHub and at apps.aliciasykes.com.

The resume content is defined in resume.yml following the jsonresume.org standard, and validated against schema.json. A LaTex document is then generated from template.jinja formated with resume-format.cls, which is then compiled into a PDF by GitHub Actions, and published under the Releases tab. A markdown version is also generated by lib/markdown.py, as well as a CV website which is built as a static Svelte site and deployed to GitHub Pages at cv.aliciasykes.com.
...Because why spend 30 minutes writing your CV, when you could spend 30 hours automating it?

Upon creating a tag (by triggering the Tag Workflow), a new Release will be drafted with your compiled CV PDF attatched

1. Fork the repo
2. Update resume.json with your own content
3. Trigger the GitHub Action to compile the PDF

See the Makefile for all the available commands. Or, just run make from the root, to install deps, validate content, generate LaTex, and compile PDF
