Really nice site! Only bit I'd change is how experience is communicated. Everything being set to "expert" or "master" (aside from animation) made it kind of hard to believe and kind of robotic.

But still, the overall charm more than made up for it and my day has been made slightly better. :)

Pretty, but it's time consuming to read. I still prefer to read a paper resume up to just two pages. Imagine everyone has an interactive resume like this: my eyes are going to hurt.

most ppl won't find the time to make something like this.

the interactive resume, itself is a showcase of his skills.

What's interactive about it? Right arrow doesn't do nothing, only down and up. So it's like scrolling down a page, a nice page but there's nothing gamified or interactive here.

'2D streamable' resume then ?

I think this was supposed to be "interactive résumé", as it doesn't seem to have anything to do with power management. But it's definitely cool. :-)

You would prefer a two page portfolio from a designer? That's crazy.

Are you all kidding me? This resume is amazing and if he isn't being super humble in describing most of his skills I don't know how he created this.

Agreed. It's an actual testament to his skillset being put into use, and conveys more about his ability than a paper resume would.

Pretty cool! Some feedback: lose the flashing instructional text.

It's fun but terribly difficult to read and understand. I hope he provides the "traditional" version as well for the people who just want the information and not the whole shabang.

It's awesome resume for graphic/designer. Very very creative!
