Nice work, it looks really good. One minor (and I mean really minor) design thought: in the section near the bottom "Selected Projects", there are grey buttons and blue buttons; in the close proximity of the blue buttons, the grey buttons sort of look like they are inactive or disabled, at first. I put my mouse over them and figured out they were indeed active links, but maybe someone non-technical might not do that.

awesome job! Looks great, just forked :) Also I was looking at the upcoming features list, and I think definitely the pdf functionality would be cool (I'm thinking the fpdf lib - know a better one?). Another idea for a feature would be to give this an REST api for xml, json, and you can then just make an appropriate call to it ( /resume.json, /resume.xml, etc). Again nice!!

I set up my resume[1] with PDF exports using Docverter. It takes Markdown or HTML and turns it into PDFs and Word docs. [1]: http://www.bugsplat.info/resume.html (Disclaimer: I also built Docverter)
