I'm going to plug LaTeX. LaTeX macros are ugly to use, but they're suitably powerful, and since it's compiled, you don't have to worry about cross-browser issues once you have it generated. I prefer to point to LinkedIn instead of producing a separate webpage since I'm less of a frontend dev, so YMMV.

Thanks for including the source. Really nice resume at first glance, looking over the source right now.

Hope it helps (even if that means ruling out LaTeX!). I'm going to be on the job market in the near future too, so I spent some time evaluating the LaTeX vs. HTML options not too long ago.

If you do end up going with LaTeX, I would highly recommend XeTeX/XeLaTeX so you have a larger font selection.

I really love the way you show skill proficiencies. Mind if I use the idea?

Absolutely. I'm sure I pilfered the idea from somewhere else and tweaked it a bit. Glad it may be of use to you.

I was trying to stay away from the typical "Some Experience" to "Expert" scale typically used for skill proficiencies, and instead provide a sense of the scale at which I had used each skill directly.
