Prerequisites

• TeX Live 2023+ (or MiKTeX) with these packages: fontenc inputenc geometry xcolor hyperref titlesec enumitem tabularx multicol tikz fontawesome5 sourcesanspro ragged2e parskip
• Python 3.10+ (for the GUI manager only — not needed to compile the PDF)
• pdflatex on your PATH

Quick Start

Option 1: Edit LaTeX directly

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/lumenworksco/Resume.git
cd Resume

# Pick a theme and compile
cd florian
pdflatex resume.tex && pdflatex resume.tex

# Or use the other theme
cd ../helene
pdflatex resume.tex && pdflatex resume.tex

To start from scratch with the single-column theme:

cd florian
cp content.example.tex content.tex
# Edit content.tex with your information
pdflatex resume.tex && pdflatex resume.tex

Run pdflatex twice so hyperlinks and cross-references resolve correctly.

Option 2: Use the GUI Manager

# Manage the florian/ resume (default)
python3 resume_manager.py

# Or manage a different theme
python3 resume_manager.py helene

The GUI has three panels:

┌──────────┬──────────────────┬──────────────────────────┐
