My profesional resume

This is a resume/cover letter generator based on the Github markdown format. When provided a markdown file, the script will auto-generate a PDF styled using Github's markdow-to-html stylesheet, the same thing that is used to render this README. The output file will be catered toward ATS resume readers.

Usage

1. run npm install
2. run npm run g [resume/cover] -file=[input file name].
   If a generator [resume/cover] is not provided, it will default to resume
3. Your PDF will be written to ./bin/[resume/cover-letters]/ with the same file name at the input file

Overview

Overview With over 13 years of professional experience and 11 years of dedicated experience in the e-commerce realm, I played a pivotal role in shaping the Everlane tech stack and assembling the Engineering, Product, and Design team from the ground up.

Significant milestones:

• Grew an Engineering, product and Design team by 10x

• Moved the Everlane front end stack from Backbone/JQuery to React and NextJS
• Created Everlane's Ruby on Rails API layer.

My values:

• Fostering an environment of trust and humility
• Advocate for and prioritize progress for the betterment of the product
• Expect and learn from successes and failures
• The collective journey is more powerful than individual accolades

I can't begin to put my experiences and contributions into just a few words but I can say that I love what I do and what we've done together.
