CV Generator

Generates Daniel Deusing's CV as DOCX and PDF in four languages — German, English, Spanish, Portuguese — from one JSON file per language.

The English CV scrolling by: personal variant left, twiceD-branded variant right

Quick Start

npm install
./generate_all.sh   # every language and variant, DOCX + PDF

Build a single CV:

node create_cv.js en --personal   # personal English → Daniel_Deusing_EN.docx

(swap en for de, es, or pt)

How it works

  • Content lives in data/cv.{de,en,es,pt}.json — one identical schema per language and the single source of truth (also consumed by the website).
  • Layout lives in create_cv.js — styling only.

To change the CV, edit the JSON and regenerate. To change the look, edit create_cv.js.

Variants

Each language builds two variants from the same content:

  • personal (--personal) → Daniel_Deusing_<LANG>.docx
  • twiceD-branded (default) → TD_Daniel_Deusing_<LANG>.docx, which adds a company logo, an intro section and a contact footer

PDF conversion

generate_all.sh converts via LibreOffice headless. It needs:

  • soffice on your PATH (brew install --cask libreoffice)
  • pdffonts from poppler (brew install poppler)
  • the Nunito font in ~/Library/Fonts or /Library/Fonts

LibreOffice 26.8 on macOS ignores the installed fonts, so the script hands Nunito to LibreOffice through a temporary profile. It stops when a PDF does not embed Nunito.

Preview animation

The animation above is rendered with Remotion from the English PDFs (needs pdftoppm from poppler):

cd video && npm install && npm run render   # → docs/cv-preview.gif
