I rather like that design. Do you have a source I could look at? I've used LaTeX, but I've been meaning to try XeTeX for a while.
Are there any particular difficulties with switching from LaTeX to XeTeX?
I actually did my resume with LaTeX, but then became too lazy to update it. Now it's somehow a year out of date :P. (A year is a lot of time for a college student...) Seems like the perfect excuse to redo it and a great time to try XeTeX.

- JoachimSchipper 15y agoXeTeX is almost completely compatible with PDFLaTeX, which is compatible with LaTeX except when using Postscript tricks (in particular, pstricks).
- anghyflawn 15y agoActually, xetex-pstricks has been in TeX Live for a long time now. It will not give you all of pstricks in XeLaTeX, but for the simplest needs it's more than sufficient. Microtype is a bigger problem.
- tincholio 15y agoXeTeX is a TeX engine. You'd still be using LaTeX (or more precisely, XeLaTeX) on top of it.
- rpearl 15y agoSorry, I'm not really good at responding to comments fast on HN. The source is currently embarrassingly bad as I iterated through different ideas. I'm ...eventually... going to clean it up and put it on github though. It is based on moderncv, hacked up a bit, but I think that template still looks quite similar to what I have.
- beambot 15y agoPlease post the source in rough form anyway...? Your design resonates with me, and I would like to "borrow" it. I can handle cleaning it up on my own, especially in the off-chance that you never get around to it. ;-)
