Resume Migration: Google Slides to RenderCV

Context

Cal's professional resume was previously maintained in Google Slides and exported to PDF manually. This was migrated to a code-based approach for better version control and repeatability.

Decision

Migrated to RenderCV v2.6, a YAML-to-PDF resume builder using the Typst engine.

Details

  • Install command: uv tool install "rendercv[full]" (the [full] extras are required — base install fails with a message to reinstall)
  • Source of truth: Cal_Corum_CV.yaml in /mnt/truenas/cals-files/Resume/
  • Render command: rendercv render Cal_Corum_CV.yaml
  • Phone number format: Must use international format (+1-xxx-xxx-xxxx) — RenderCV rejects local formats

Rationale

  • YAML source is version-controllable in git
  • Typst engine produces high-quality PDF output
  • Reproducible builds without manual formatting in a GUI tool
