My Latex resume

Linkedin serves well, but not in all situations. At some point my profile just cluttered up, while all I wanted 'them' to have is a good looking two page resume. Naturally turned to Latex.

Looking at some Latex resumes online I found one that I really liked, so I gave it my best shot. The I documented my effort here on Github as I expect more geeks want their resume to be typeset like this.

It uses TeX Gyre Pagella, a font similar to Pallatino that is often used for books. When compiled with XeLaTeX it has 'lower case numerals', which I think look very nice.

Except the horizonal lines and bullets everything is made of text. Hyper-refs are used where applicable, all in dark blue so 'print safe'.

A 'last updated at** date is printed on the top-right of the page.

Obviously it only relies on open source stuff.
