Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Typst (v0.12+)

Compile Locally

typst compile --font-path Poppins src/cv.typ cv.pdf

Or use watch mode for live reloading while editing:

typst watch --font-path Poppins src/cv.typ cv.pdf

The --font-path Poppins flag tells Typst where to find the bundled Poppins font files.

Customisation

Content

The CV content is split into separate files under src/ for easy editing:

File	Contents
cv.typ	Page layout, name, and sidebar
summary.typ	Profile summary paragraph
jobs.typ	Work experience entries
education.typ	Education entries
helpers.typ	Shared helper functions & colours

To add a new job or education entry, use the entry function in the respective file:

#entry(
  title: "Job Title",
  subtitle: "Company Name",
  date: "Jan 2023 – Present",
  description: [
    - Accomplishment one.
    - Accomplishment two.
  ],
)

Colours

The colour palette is defined at the top of src/helpers.typ:

#let bg      = rgb("#fff8f2")   // Page background
#let fg      = rgb("#333333")   // Main text colour
#let muted   = rgb("#777777")   // Subtle/secondary text
#let primary = rgb("#d7b299")   // Sidebar & headings

Profile Picture

The profile picture is displayed in a circular clip in the sidebar. To adjust the zoom and position, modify the place call in src/cv.typ:

• Zoom in/out — increase or decrease the width value.

CI/CD

A GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/pipeline.yaml) automatically:

1. Triggers when the VERSION file is changed (or via manual dispatch).
2. Compiles the CV to PDF using Typst.
3. Creates a GitHub Release tagged with the version from VERSION, with the PDF attached.

To create a new release, simply bump the version in VERSION and push:

echo "1.0.0" > VERSION
git add VERSION
git commit -m "Release v1.0.0"
git push
