🌟 Introducing My Open-Source Resume: A Step Toward Transparency and Contribution 🚀

Hello, Dev.to! 👋

I’m excited to share my open-source resume project, available on GitHub at eshanized/resume. This project is an attempt to create a personal, transparent, and easily maintainable resume using modern web technologies. 🎉

Why Open Source? 🤔

In an ever-changing tech landscape, your personal brand and resume should be as dynamic and customizable as the tools we use every day. By open-sourcing my resume, I aim to:

• Promote transparency: Make my career achievements and projects publicly accessible to peers, recruiters, and anyone interested in my work. 🌐
• Contribute to the community: By providing a template that others can fork, modify, and use for their own resumes. 💡
• Showcase my skills: This project serves as a technical demonstration of my proficiency in frontend development with React, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and GitHub Pages. 💻

Features ✨

• Modern Design: My resume is built with clean, minimal, and responsive design principles using Tailwind CSS. 🎨
• Personalized: It's not just a static resume — it’s a living, breathing document that reflects my professional journey, tech skills, and projects. 📈
• Customizable: You can fork it and personalize it for your own use, making it an open-source solution for those who want a customizable web-based resume. 🔧
• Accessible: Hosted on GitHub Pages, so it’s accessible anytime, anywhere. 🌍

Technologies Used ⚙️

This project utilizes some amazing technologies to ensure that the website is fast, responsive, and easy to maintain:

• React: A popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. ⚛️
• Vite: A build tool that significantly improves the development experience with its fast bundling capabilities. ⚡
• Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework that makes styling faster and more efficient. 💨
• GitHub Pages: For easy hosting of the static site. 🌐

1. Clone or fork the repository: https://github.com/eshanized/resume
2. Customize the src/data/resume.json file to reflect your own career information. 📝
3. Run pnpm dev to view your changes locally. 🌱
4. Deploy your updated resume on GitHub Pages for free. 🌍

Roadmap 🛣️

Here are a few features I’m planning to implement in future releases:

• Multilingual support: Adding different language options for a wider audience. 🌏
• PDF Export: Allow users to download their resume as a PDF. 📄
• Enhanced UI: Improving the overall design and adding more sections like portfolio highlights, certifications, and volunteer work. 🎨
