You'd want to use Typst, not LaTeX. I'm rewriting my CV with it, it's fantastic. I can now finally put the CV contents in a JSON, and generate the PDF programmatically, with lots of computed values by my own algorithms, the layout is simple, nothing stands in the way, nothing feels out of its place. And compilation is so fast... Really, forget LaTeX, embrace the 2020s.
