The resume site was built on WordPress (somewhat unnecessarily in the projects final iteration it turns out - hindsight) because Clourlovers was hiring for WP devs. A few things that were in at the start that would've actually taken advantage of the platform were dropped. There is other work in my folio that does take full advantage of the platform and really pushes it to its limits. (Although it seems that around HN WP's name is mud more often than not.)
As for the template monster thing and the PKDcure.org design, that design is 100% original and was part of a 9 month roll out for a huge corporate client with usability testing and extensive UX planning etc, etc... Any similarity is coincidence. The design in question was worked on by a team of designers for months so it's ironic/depressing that there's apparently a template out there for it that can be had for a few bucks (I'm assuming). Although there's literally no way it's exactly the same, PKDcure.org is a 400 page site with 10-15 unique page layouts.
Can I get a link to the template of which you speak?
