I use Hugo. All of my jobs are markdown files describing the role, projects and accomplishments. They’re pared down to the header metadata summary, dates, and skills list for showing in the resume view. It’s literally just a blog with CSS formatting it like a resume. Really easy. Well… working with CSS print rules to make elegant PDF views wasn’t super easy but the web view was.

I’ve been meaning to make it a little more robust, with some filtration options so I can more easily tailor the resume output to specific jobs on the fly. Really shouldn’t be hard but jesus am I lazy. That’s why my resume is a blog in the first place.

I like Hugo but was hoping for something even more minimalistic and suited just for a resume. But I'll do more research.

Do you have a good example of a resume on Hugo I could look at? Is your resume project source available?

Thanks so much.
