./scripts/render.sh -p bio         # Research resume  
./scripts/render.sh -p consulting  # Consulting resume
./scripts/render.sh -p default     # Complete resume

Formatting

Tag content in your CV YAML to control where it appears:

experience:
  - company: "Research Lab"
    tags: [ai, bio, default]
    highlights:
      - text: "Built ML models"
        tags: [ai, default]
      - text: "Published research"
        tags: [bio, default]
      - text: "Led team of 5"
        tags: [consulting, default]
      - "Collaborated across departments"  # Untagged = appears everywhere

Profiles:

• ai: ai - AI/ML roles
• bio: bio - Research/academia
• consulting: consulting - Leadership roles
• default: default - Complete resume

Usage

# Basic usage
./scripts/render.sh -p PROFILE

# Custom CV file
./scripts/render.sh your_cv.yaml -p PROFILE

# Custom output
./scripts/render.sh -p PROFILE -o custom-name.pdf

Note: Assumes your file is called master_CV.yaml. To use a different file, specify it as the first argument:

./scripts/render.sh SOURCE.yaml -p PROFILE -o custom-name.pdf

Rules:

• Tagged items only appear in matching profiles
• Untagged items appear everywhere
• All tags removed from final output

Works with any RenderCV theme and preserves all formatting.
