Latex Resume to PDF Workflow

This project automates the process of generating a PDF resume from a LaTeX (.tex) file and updating it on an S3 bucket, providing a static URL for my website - manavendrasen.com

Workflow Overview

1. GitHub Action Trigger:

   • When changes are made to the .tex LaTeX resume file, a GitHub Action is triggered.

2. PDF Generation:

   • The GitHub Action uses a custom Docker image manavendrasen/latex to generate the PDF file from the LaTeX source.

3. Upload to S3:

   • The generated PDF is then uploaded to an S3 bucket.

4. Static URL for Website:

   • S3 provides a static URL that can be used on your website to showcase the latest version of your resume.
