A resume created using React inspired by a HTML based template, https://github.com/mnjul/html-resume

• I am not a designer, therefore I'm not proficient enough to create a resume easily using Illustrator.
• Creating the resume with something like Photoshop would result in a lower quality resume due to the lack of vectors.
• As a frontend developer however, I am very good with React. Therefore, I can create a resume easily and in high quality.

• Using something such as Word or Google Docs, I am able to create a resume, but with much difficulty as I layer tables upon tables.
• For anything that has to do this, don't you just hate the mandatory spacing around tables? (Free flow items are basically impossible)
• But with HTML however, I am able to freely control everything on my page easily and consistently.

• I am lazy, I want my resume to be like my personal website, where I can edit the data without having to mess with anything else.
• Using my old resume, if I were to change the content. 90% of the time I would also have to fix the styles.
• Now with this, the resume and data are independent by storing them in objects. Therefore, I simply use React to render the data.

• By using a JavaScript framework, I am able to achieve flexiblity and easy data manipulation. (Where the React application can be anything, we're turning this into a pdf anyways)

• The resume has a centered fixed size of a letter size paper (11 x 8.5 inch), with a nice little light grey background for and a box shadow for webview. (Because I can)
• When creating the pdf, simply print screen with "header and footer" off, and "background-graphics" on.
• Save the PDF and you're done! :D

• Uses contentful for querying data so that it's completely handfree (or until I get an itch), and can auto deploy to netlify when data is updated
• Each section is modular and more or less a "mini ecosystem", with the exception of some repeated styles
• Following best practices of separating content from layout, it further helps separate data from the resume
