Why a Documentation-Based Résumé?

I used to feel frustrated writing my résumé. I have so much to share, yet so little space to do so. It’s really hard to know if I’ll be the right fit for you based solely on a list of skills.

So, I decided to craft my résumé with Sphinx. This approach gives me the freedom to present myself how I want, talk about what truly matters, and help you better understand who I am and whether I could be a good fit for your team.

How Is This Résumé Built?

This résumé is powered by Sphinx using the reStructuredText (RST) file format. Below is a brief overview of its architecture.

The content is stored in a private Git repository, while Sphinx runs inside a container managed by K3s on my local Raspberry Pi. Whenever I update it, the system automatically removes the existing container, reinstantiates it, and pulls the latest version from my repository. A Bash script then links everything properly, allowing the final HTML to be generated from there.

Who Am I?

First things first, let me introduce myself. I’m Romain—nice to meet you! I live in a small town called Marciac, which you might know if you’re a jazz fan—it hosts one of the biggest jazz festivals in France, lasting three weeks during July and August. I enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while still having access to most of the services you’d expect in a city ten times bigger… Yes, I’m lucky.

I love going on walks with my dog, Thea (if you’re lucky, I might post a picture of her!), playing board and video games, and playing basketball. I also have a cat, Oslo, though he mostly sticks to playing, hunting, eating, and sleeping… Definitely a cat.

Here, I’ll try to give you a deeper understanding of who I am through my personal projects.

Personal Experience

In January 2025, I finally overcame my health issues that had been preventing me from seeing the future in a positive light. So, with my modest means, I decided to get myself an RPI to work on and develop key skills I was missing. I’m thinking of things like Docker and K3s, for example, but also getting back into Python development.

Fortunately, I had quite a few personal projects, which you’ll find in this section, providing me with a solid base to build upon.

I really enjoy helping people and make my experience easier by automating what can be automated.

I hope my next working experience will provide me those opportunities to help, teach, and make life easier for everyone.
