What it does
A plain resume page can make it hard to show the full picture of your work. This theme turns your resume into a set of animated sections that slide horizontally, built with HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery. Visitors move between your profile, experience, portfolio and blog in one place. The layout is responsive and retina ready, works across popular browsers and is set up for phones and tablets, so it reads well on whatever screen someone uses to look you up.
The portfolio is where most of the work happens. You can filter projects, open details loaded through AJAX and view images, videos and audio in a custom lightbox designed for mobile. More than 50 CSS3 animation effects handle portfolio transitions. For styling, you get four predefined styles and over 600 Google Fonts. A full blog supports all post formats, Google Maps can display your location, and an included .po file lets you translate the site.
