jsonresume-theme-kendall-projects-first

A JSON Resume theme based on Kendall with Projects section displayed before Work Experience.

Perfect for developers, portfolio-focused professionals, and anyone who wants to highlight their projects prominently.

What's Different?

This theme is a fork of the excellent jsonresume-theme-kendall by M. Adam Kendall with the following changes:

• Projects section moved before Work Experience - Great for showcasing side projects, open source contributions, or portfolio work
• Enhanced Projects display - Projects now show:
  • Start/End dates (optional)
  • Roles
  • Highlights
  • Keywords as badges
• All original Kendall theme features preserved

1. About (Summary)
2. Projects (moved up!)
3. Work Experience
4. Awards
5. Volunteer
6. Education (sidebar)
7. Skills (sidebar)
8. Languages (sidebar)
