Treating My Resume Like a CI/CD Pipeline

TL;DR This is a decade-long story more than a how-to, so if you just want the setup, skip straight to how it actually works. Otherwise, here’s the short version: I failed to learn LaTeX for close to a decade, every attempt died from trying to master it end to end before writing a single line. I used Novoresume, then RxResume (open source), for every resume until now, and both got the job done. Watching my wife fight a paid resume builder, then losing track of my own current resume, is what actually pushed me to fix this. my-resume treats a resume like RaC, resume as code: a push to main compiles it with XeLaTeX, publishes it as a GitHub release, and syncs the PDF into this site automatically. A separate private build adds my phone number, kept out of anything public by construction, not by remembering to redact it. I built the same setup for my wife, producing an English and a German version instead of a public and private one. The Long Version After 12th, I wrote CET (Common Entrance Test) and got into an engineering college for Computer Science. Before classes started, I went to see a relative for some life advice, the kind of relative who felt more like an elder brother than a distant name at family functions. He was already a software engineer, and he sat me down and gave me a short list of things to learn. SQL made sense. A programming language made sense. Then he told me to learn LaTeX, and to this day I have no idea why that one came up. But out of everything he said that day, LaTeX is the one that stuck with me the hardest.
