CV storage for LinkedIn (OneDrive/GoogleDrive/DropBox)

Nowadays, we're living in 21 century, and sending CV via email seems to be as ancient as sharing games via diskettes. In this very case, I'd like to share my CV via LinkedIn and make it nice, shiny and downloadable. Definitely, we want to share a PDF, because all those DOCs/DOCXs can have a format shifts when opened at some specific devices.

LinkedIn - Upload file

So, lets try the most naive way first: upload PDF to LinkedIn profile directly. Go to profile editing, add Summary section, click Add, select Upload file and upload your CV.

Good point is that it has a nice looking preview at the main page:

Bad news is that it is looking quite blurry and there's no direct download link for PDF:

Lets see what we can achieve with OneDrive/GoogleDrive/DropBox.

Finished working with Foodie.fm

That was quite competitive, but i'm pretty pleased with results:

My base task was to "refactor some project's parts", then it evolved to "move the whole project to MVVM", as basically all the code was done in a codebehind - that was quite competitive and took lots of time, but it was extremely useful experience.
Other tasks that i did during last 2 years:
- page navigation with NonLinearNavigationService and advanced data transfer,
- deal with slowpoke WP7's ListBox,
- sync/async lightspeed file storage for WP7,
- a library for effective image caching for WP7,
- a magic queue which would guarantee server requests delivery.

Anyway, that is a great addon to my gamedev skills.
