Deedy-Resume

A one page , two asymmetric column resume template in XeTeX that caters particularly to an undergraduate Computer Science student. As of v1.2, there is an option to choose from two templates:

1. MacFonts - uses fonts native to OSX - Helvetica, Helvetica Neue (and it's Light and Ultralight versions) and the CJK fonts Heiti SC, and Heiti TC. The EULA of these fonts prevents distribution on Open Source.
2. OpenFonts - uses free open sourced variants that resemble the above. We use Lato (and many of its variants) and Raleway.

Motivation

Common LaTeX resume-builders such as moderncv and the friggeri-cv look great if you're okay with a multipage resume with numerous citations, but usually isn't ideal for making a thorough single-page one. A lot of companies today search resumes based on keywords but at the same time require/prefer a one page resume, especially for undergraduates.

This template attempts to not look horrible, allow detail, be a single page, and allow useful LaTeX templating.
