Resume as Code

A minimal resume-as-code sample project using Typst and Gradle.

This project demonstrates how to:

• Write a resume in Typst
• Build PDFs using Gradle
• Maintain a resume as code using a reproducible workflow

The included resume is a minimal sample based on the basic-resume template.

Quick Start

Requirements

• Java 17+

No local Typst installation required — the project uses the Gradle Typst plugin to automatically download and use the configured Typst version.

Building the Resume

./gradlew typstCompile

After building, the generated resume PDF will be available under:

build/typst/docs/pdf/resume.pdf
