This repository is a personal resume template built with Typst, a modern document-formatting tool similar to LaTeX but simpler to write. Instead of producing the usual plain-text CV, it generates a polished, magazine-style layout that a founder or job-seeker can hand to investors or recruiters. All the actual content lives in a single JSON file, so you update your resume by editing plain data rather than wrestling with layout code. The project separates content from design. Your name, jobs, and metrics go into a JSON file, while separate library files handle fonts, spacing, and reusable building blocks. A theme file holds design tokens (colors, type sizes), and helper files safely pull data from the JSON so missing fields don't break the build. When you run a build command, Typst assembles everything into a finished PDF. The layout follows an editorial aesthetic rather than a typical dashboard look. It features a full-width header section at the top that doesn't clash with the rest of the page, followed by a two-column body for experience and skills, with a dedicated row for proof points like key metrics. The README doesn't go into detail on specific use cases beyond the author's own resume, but the modular structure means someone comfortable editing JSON could swap in their own content and get a similarly designed document. Building the project relies on a tool called Just, which runs predefined commands for tasks like checking your setup, building the PDF, or watching files for changes and rebuilding automatically. You'd need Typst and Just installed on your machine to use the system. The overall tradeoff is straightforward: you give up drag-and-drop editing and get a version-controllable, code-driven resume that stays consistent every time you rebuild it.
