I Hadn't Written a Resume Since 2008–So I Coded One Instead

Hi HN! Long-time lurker here, finally sharing something of my own.

After years of reading Show HNs and deep dives, I found myself needing a resume for the first time since 2008. But after two decades of building software, a static PDF just didn't feel right—so I am building an interactive, data-driven way to view my resume in React, and wrote up the process, the tech, and the "why" behind it.

This post is about the journey: how I approached the problem, the design and data modeling decisions, and what I learned building a prototype that’s still evolving. I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or feedback—especially from folks who care about UX, data, or creative ways to present yourself online.

I'm also starting to look for my next role, so if you're hiring or just curious, I'd be happy to connect. Thanks for reading!
