What Is resume.md? Your Résumé as a Live Link
resume.md is your résumé published as a live Markdown link instead of a static file. It's always current, perfectly readable by AI assistants, and a single URL you can share with anyone. Think of it as the difference between mailing a photocopy and sharing a link that's never out of date.

Résumé builder, a live resume.md link, and ATS-friendly PDF & .docx export.
A file vs. a link
A PDF résumé is a snapshot. The moment you change jobs, every copy you've emailed is stale — and you have no idea which version a recruiter is looking at. A resume.md link is a single living document: update it once and everyone who has the link sees the current version.
Why Markdown?
Markdown is plain text with simple structure. That makes it:
- AI-native — ChatGPT and Claude parse it flawlessly.
- Format-proof — no columns to scramble, no fonts to break.
- Lightweight and universal — it opens anywhere and renders cleanly.
It's the ideal handoff format for the AI tools people now use to tailor applications and write cover letters.
What you can do with your resume.md link
- Give it to ChatGPT or Claude so they tailor applications to your real experience.
- Drop it in your email signature, LinkedIn or GitHub profile.
- Share it in a DM instead of an attachment that might not open on mobile.
- Connect it to AI once so it's always current — no re-pasting.

Frequently asked questions
What is resume.md?
It's your résumé published as a live Markdown link that stays current, is easy to share, and can be read directly by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude.
How is resume.md different from a PDF?
A PDF is a static snapshot that goes stale when you update your career. resume.md is a single live link that always reflects your latest résumé — and it's far easier for AI to parse.
Can I still get a PDF?
Yes. person.bio exports an ATS-friendly PDF and .docx from the same résumé, so you have both a live link and traditional files when you need them.
