so i've been taking a similar tack with my online portfolio, although i haven't followed through completely.
i really despise word processors, so i've been building out a jekyll/github pages site with each of my past jobs/projects as small markdown posts with the necessary metadata.
Then on the theme level I pull in the markdown files into a responsive site that degrades down all the way to mobile, and that has a print stylesheet that will generate a presentable resume from all this content.
I never really seem to get to the point of finishing the print stylesheet, because I seem to always find a job before I get to that point.
Still, at least now I can just update some small text files as I continue my career, and ultimately it just feels more sensible for me to manage that data than something like LinkedIn.
I was also thinking about adding some client side filtering of the past projects/jobs based on the technologies I tag them with, so I can generate a customized resume for each position. Maybe if I abstract it out into a separate project ...
