RÉSUMÉ

And here we are, the shortest form of all of the content that is in this website, amalgamated into words on just a couple sheets of "paper" in order to get across an entire body of work. Because of how I operate and think, I’ve designed this page in a different way than is normally done, as far as I know. See what you think of the format and responsive design.

The résumé does what it needs to do, but the context of the entire site and all of the work in it really is what makes the résumé have the weight that it needs to have.

If you haven't yet, please do, in the order that you see the menu items, take a journey through the entire site to get an idea of what it is that I do.

Online Résumé

This HTML résumé design works from the largest screens all the way down to holding your phone sideways. The design is simply not going to be optimized well for vertical mobile. So, at that level, you'll just see PDF downloads that you can view it on your phone.

Getting the alignment to work perfectly in HTML is virtually impossible, so I've certainly done my best and adjusted it numerous times to try to correct for rendering anomalies, but you will probably see something different depending on which browser and which rendering engine you are using. Either way, I think it's still pretty close, and it gets across the intent relatively well. You can see the actual desired layout when you check out the PDF version of the résumé in the second section. It is what it is, and I'm actually liking what it is that I've figured out in as much as I have, regardless of any anomalies in alignment and such.

What's most infuriating, I guess, is that at the largest scale, proper alignment on page three of the resume is the least consistent, although at every breakpoint down from it, it seems to line up quite nicely. This is just the nature of attempting to completely rebuild such a specific layout done on a desktop design program versus building it out in HTML. The results will be inconsistent, nonetheless, I appreciate very much the way this came out and think it is awesome as f#©k 🤯!

Otherwise, enjoy!

NOTICE: The web version of the résumé, built in HTML and CSS, will not display in any reasonable fashion on a cell phone in vertical mode. So, it is set to not exist when you have your phone in a standard portrait orientation.

If you would like to view it, please turn your phone sideways. Then you can see it. At least you can check out the first page beforehand!. Sorry for the inconvenience, but my résumé is not designed to be that narrow.

PDF Résumé

Here's a PDF of the same résumé that you're basically seeing in HTML, designed before the website, and ready for print in both light and dark modes.

Obviously, my preference would be for you to print it with a black background, but I can appreciate the desire to save some ink, so I have also supplied an inverted version in order to facilitate the standard resume printing. Do check it out.

You may also notice that I've stuck with a landscape format instead of portrait, as in horizontal instead of vertical. This is a bit nonstandard. However, it is, I think, more appropriate for the design that I went for. I have designed a portrait version of it, but I've chosen to stick with the landscape version. however, out of norm that may be, because I would prefer to give you a representation that is actually in my character, and not just the conformity of what everyone else assumes or expects I should do.

If you click on the images below, they will open the PDFs in a new window for you. However, if you want to view them while still on the website, the View PDF button will launch a modal for your convenience for either or both 😝.

Video Résumé

I originally had two ideas for putting my résumé up on this website. One was, well, the obvious one, a PDF, the one that I prefer, which is what one might call dark mode, and a light mode version that would be better for print.

Then I had this idea. Since a big part of the video section on this website is examples of what I know how to do in Keynote, because I can turn pretty much any piece of print collateral into an animated Keynote presentation video full of motion graphics and animation, I thought, why don't I do that with my résumé? (Along the way, I also decided to build the entire resume in HTML and CSS as well, which is the first version of the résumé you see.)

So… In this section, we have the Keynote presentation turned into a narrated video with original music. There's nothing extra here other than a little bit of a flourish on the graphics at the beginning and a note at the end. There's no extra textual content added, no flourishes. It's literally me reading the content of the résumé as it is in the form that it's in. This is all about timing and building out your animation flow to bring all of the information through step by step. A little bit of back and forth recording the narration itself, figuring out the length of time it takes me to speak the things, going back in Keynote, adding those times to the builds, and then going over to Final Cut Pro and doing a little bit of retiming to make sure the audio and the animations actually match up (plus a few other tricks that I learned while building this particular Keynote presentation in particular, because every time I do these things I'm always trying to learn and design something I've never done before, which is the case here), and now we have this.

For the regular viewer, it's just my résumé narrated for you in video form. For someone who understands Keynote, this is a not unimpressive video. So check it out, see what you think.
