Moving to RenderCV

Moving to RenderCV

Connor Grout

I recently met with a colleague from Honeywell over the weekend to reminisce about old times working at Honeywell and see how things were going for him. While discussing our gripes, new tools we’ve used, and the current state of the job marked; he mentioned that he was going to try a tool that allowed you to write and generate a resume using only YAML. This intrigued me, because I had only seen tools that allowed you to write your resume in JSON.

New Blog Creation

New Blog Creation

Connor Grout

Today I’ve taken it upon myself to create a new blog that I can use to show my proficiency in technologies as well as be able to say that I have a blog!

I’ve decided to use Hugo as the Static Site Generator because:

  1. It’s written in Go (A language I’d like to start learning)
  2. It appears to be one of the more popular static site generators

I previously tried going down this road with Pelican, which uses Python as the language to power it. But I found it rather clunky to get started with and lacking any themes that I liked. I will leave the old depreciated code up in my personal repo here: https://gitlab.com/retsnom513/retsnom513.gitlab.io. I will also be open-sourcing this blog as well, so the source code can be found here: https://gitlab.com/connorgrout/my-personal-site.
