I did something similar but with my phone, the android orgzly app, termux, jinja2 and latex.

I cribbed a CV template from overleaf and put some jinja2 in it to take the content from CV note in my note taking app: https://hitchdev.com/orji/using/latex-cv/

With termux I can then hit a button to run a script and it will instantly generate a pretty PDF using latex from an orgzly note and fire off an android share intent.

The nice thing about this set up was that if a recruiter called me while I was out and wanted a CV quickly with a couple of tweaks made I could just do it on my note taking app and email an updated PDF in a few seconds.

In theory I could easily change the style of the CV but in practice I haven't felt the need to touch it in years.
