I like it, it would make a great "about" page for someone's blog.

I'm not sure that it really works as a resume though (at least in my small part of the world which is finance in London). Where I am recruitment is dominated be recruiters, and the majority of them need a CV that they can change into their format (word) and send over to their client.

I'm also interested to know what meteor specifically brought to this, did you need the real time features of meteor in some way or is it just that you wanted to try it out?

It looks awesome though, really great work!

P.S. Are you really a paratrooper?

Interesting perspective, you're not the first to mention that even though you like it, you don't necesserily see it as a CV. That's why I posted early, to validate the idea and direction. It's a common thing to pivot the market with the same product, after getting feedback from potential users. I'll certaintly think about this some more, thanks!

This is not your typical Meteor project. Almost everything is realtime, but because that's how Meteor works, not because it was a requirement. So yes, mostly I just wanted to try it out. But I can can confirm it can also be used as your everyday web framework, not just for chat servers or what one might imagine it was made for

Not an actual paratrooper, that would've been cool!
