• Fill out the variables and fields in the .tex file.

About

I decided to make my own template after using moderncv for a while. I wanted a cleaner look and something that is more unique (as much as an academic CV can be). It was also a chance for me to learn some LaTeX templating (and procrastihack a little).

Building

I use Tectonic to build the PDF from the sources. It's very convenient, can be installed from conda-forge, and is faster than using a normal LaTeX compiler. There are many ways to install it (see their website for instructions).

I highly recommend using the Makefile:

• make: builds the PDF
• make show: opens the PDF on the default web browser
• make clean: removes the built PDF and any other generated files

Deploying

A PDF is compiled automatically by GitHub Actions with every commit to the main branch and uploaded to the pdf branch. This way, the compiled PDF is updated and made available on the internet automatically.
