How to Customize to Your Needs

Generally, search and replace the text inside cv.tex with your own text while preserving the structure and logic of the cv.tex file.

Changing the colors

Colors are defined as variables at the beginning of the file. Change them to whatever you like.

Using the Tagbox

This is used to display some of the technology stack in a StackOverflow/GitHub style. For example, this line will add two boxes in one row:

\tagbox{C++} \tagbox{Python}

Using the Yearentry

This is used to create an arrow, including the given year, pointing at the middle of the paragraph which describes your previous work. Use it like this:

\yearentry{2015}{Your job description here.}

Using the skill point measurement

These are the little dots that give the interviewer a quick overview of the technologies you focused on in your career and how you would judge your proficiency. Simply give it a parameter ranging from 1-10, for example:

\skillpoints{7}
