my-resume.cls,bf-class.cls,cover-letter-class.cls,testing-class.cls) designed to format resumes and cover letters. - Support for single-sided and double-sided document layouts.
- Integration with TikZ and tcolorbox for advanced graphical elements.
- Use of fontawesome and academicons for iconography.
- Multiple sample documents including resumes, cover letters, and related PDFs.
Tech Stack
- LaTeX (LaTeX2e)
- TikZ graphics library
- tcolorbox package
- fontawesome and academicons icon sets
- scrartcl document class (KOMA-Script)
