Future Content, Evergreen Resume Skills

I like self-updating code. TypeScript types generated from PostgreSQL schema? Sign me up! I like having the skills on my resume linked to content that demonstrates that skill. Can we combine them? Yup!

This small liquid template is what keeps the skill links on my resume page always updated when there’s relevant content. When I publish additional content in the future, the skills I’ve listed on my resume will get autolinked to the correct tag routes Jekyll generates. Jekyll continues to update my CV with internal tag links as I publish additional content on this site!

I’m using Devicon via css to get the logos for the tools and tech tagged on my resume.
