Cloud-Native Architect | AI Infrastructure & Strategy | Full-Stack Engineer | Senior Technical Leader

I'm a Senior Technologist with over 25 years of experience bridging executive business strategy and deep-tech engineering. My career has spanned roles from Founder/CTO to Senior Principal Architect across companies of all sizes, including Fortune 50 enterprises.

Currently, I'm pivoting deeper into AI/ML Infrastructure—I don't just want to use models; I want to architect the high-performance compute, RAG pipelines, and scalable cloud systems that power them.

I'm actively pursuing NVIDIA architecture certifications while looking for future opportunities/connections that sit at the intersection of High-Performance Computing (HPC), Cloud-Native Infrastructure, and Applied AI.

So, why build a repository for a resume? Why not just use Word?

As an architect, I believe in Separation of Concerns and Single Source of Truth. Maintaining multiple versions of a document manually is an anti-pattern. Every time I need a PDF, a DOCX for a recruiter's ATS, or an updated website—they should all derive from the same canonical source.

This project demonstrates how I approach even simple problems with engineering rigor:

├── data/                    # 📊 DATA LAYER - Single Source of Truth
│   ├── kenzik.yml           #    My actual resume data (.gitignored-ed and provided as a secret in pipelines.)
│   └── example.yml          #    Template for others to use
│
├── python/                  # ⚙️  LOGIC LAYER - Document Generation
│   ├── build_resume.py      #    Generates PDF, DOCX, MD, RTF
│   └── requirements.txt     #    Python dependencies
│
├── games/                   # 🎮 ...nothing to see here, move along
│
└── web/                     # 🖥️  PRESENTATION LAYER - Interactive Website
    ├── src/                 #    Vue 3 + Quasar + TypeScript
    └── public/downloads/    #    Pre-built downloadable files

My interactive resume lives at kenzik.com — but it's not your typical portfolio site.

It's a terminal emulator that lets you explore my resume with Unix-like commands:

$ help              # Available commands
$ resume            # View full resume  
$ skills            # List technical skills
$ experience google # Filter by company name
$ resume | grep AI  # Pipe and filter like a real terminal
$ resume | more     # Page through long output
$ download pdf      # Download resume as PDF
$ theme dark        # Switch color themes
$ font "JetBrains Mono"  # Change terminal font

Features:

• 🎨 Theme System — Auto-detects system preference, persists choice
• ⌨️ Typewriter Effect — Authentic terminal feel with animation
• 📦 Command Pipeline — Real pipe support (grep, head, tail, more)
• 🔤 Font Switcher — Multiple monospace fonts to choose from
• 📥 Downloads — PDF, DOCX, MD, RTF exports

The source code is in ./web with its own README.

Want to use this for your own resume? Here's how:

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/kenzik/resume.git && cd resume

# Copy and edit the example data
cp data/example.yml data/yourname.yml
# Edit data/yourname.yml with your information

# Install Python dependencies
cd python
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Set your contact info (create .env.local in python/)
cat > .env.local << EOF
RESUME_NAME="Your Name"
RESUME_EMAIL="you@example.com"
RESUME_PHONE="555-555-5555"
RESUME_CITY_STATE="City, State"
RESUME_LINKEDIN="linkedin.com/in/yourprofile"
EOF

# Generate all formats
python build_resume.py --source ../data/yourname.yml --format all

# Or generate with revealed contact info
python build_resume.py --source ../data/yourname.yml --format pdf --reveal-pii

Output formats: PDF, DOCX, MD, RTF

# From the repo root
cd web

# Install dependencies
yarn install  # or npm install

# Start development server
yarn dev      # Opens at http://localhost:9000

# Build for production
yarn build    # Output in dist/spa/

The web app automatically reads from data/kenzik.yml during the build. You'll need to change this.

Your YAML file should follow this structure:

web:
  motd: |
    # Your welcome message (Markdown supported)
    Type `help` for available commands.

resume:
  profile: >
    Your professional summary here.
  
  skills:
    - "Skill 1"
    - "Skill 2"
  
  experience:
    - company: "Company Name"
      title: "Your Title"
      date: "Start - End"
      summary: Optional summary
      sections:
        - title: "Project or Focus Area"
          bullets:
            - "Achievement 1"
            - "Achievement 2"
      tech: "Tech stack used"
  
  earlier:
    - "Previous Role — Company (Years)"
  
  certs:
    - "Certification Name"
  
  education:
    - "University — Degree"

See data/example.yml for a complete template.

• Privacy: Contact details (phone, city) are redacted by default in generated documents. Use --reveal-pii to include them, or set environment variables.
• Fonts: The web app uses JuliaMono and supports multiple monospace fonts.
• Deployment: The site is deployed to Cloudflare Pages. See web/public/_headers and _redirects for config.
