It basically skyrocketed from there to what you can see in https://francisco.io/resume/ https://francisco.io/resume/ , with basically all experiences afterwards building on top of that (either directly, by reference or just as credentials for the next ones). People (including Google) also seem to love https://picnicss.com/ https://picnicss.com/ and I normally use it for showing my front-end skills.
Something I found surprising is that I got a really high quality contacts from my public projects. I would say about 50% of the job offers I get through my developer persona are high quality which I consider (even if many don't work in the end) vs what I used to get through Linkedin or even Facebook (both closed now) which were exactly 100% low quality/SPAM.
- alonsonic 9y agoReally like your resume layout. What did you build it with? Is that an open-source layout? Would love to use it.
- franciscop 9y agoI didn't think it'd be so interesting as to publish it separately, thanks! It's built on top of my own Picnic CSS (in above comment) but with many px/em/cm-specific adjustments as seen in https://francisco.io/resume/cv.css https://francisco.io/resume/cv.css Feel free to reuse any of the code under the MIT.
- zimpenfish 9y agoThat is a really nice looking CV. I might take advantage of your generosity and do mine in a similar fashion, thanks!
- ziikutv 9y agoUmbrella JS is a well deserving project. You won me over with the little animated illustrations. I feel like people have attached those to "quality" and "legitness"; at least I do. I am going to play with that lib this weekend. Could be good for small Eletron/NW.JS apps.
- franciscop 9y agoThanks! Nowadays I am leaning on my own https://superdom.site/ https://superdom.site/ for simpler/over the weekend projects. I almost made it into a next iteration of Umbrella JS but thought it'd be too big of a change and decided to separate it. I prefer superdom syntax and I consider it the last and best iteration I could make following jQuery's philosophy (there are a bunch of dead jsfiddles from Umbrella to Superdom). It feels a bit hacky but it's quite legible and intuitive. It is not so compatible (no IE/old Android) and the main thing missing from Umbrella is the whole AJAX side, but for that I mostly use the new standard fetch(). I keep telling myself I gotta make superdom's website worth of the code, but I never get around to do it :)
- davidivadavid 9y agoJust 'cause I'm a grammar nazi: you misspelled "Andreessen Horowitz" in your resume. Unless there's a company with a name awfully close to Andreessen Horowitz, of course.
- franciscop 9y agoI triple checked it and still got it wrong, thanks for the tip :( Edit: fixed + added the favicon
- deivid 9y agoNice resume page. The umbrellajs link actually points to ubrellajs.com (missing the M)
- ruairidhwm 9y agoAside from looking really nice, that's a seriously impressive CV. Well done! Hola de Madrid ;)
- franciscop 9y agoHola, veo que estas en el slack de Madrid Devs (;
