Contemporary, a contributed theme for moderncv

Since 2012, I have been using the moderncv LaTeX package to prepare my CV. The moderncv class noticeably reduces the time required to typeset a nice-looking CV, yet it lacks an eye-catching modern theme.

In the last few days, I have been reworking my résumé and I took the chance to write a new theme that looks more up-to-date (see image). contemporary is largely based on the classic theme and makes use of PGF/TikZ for some of the decorations. A pull request for moderncv is up here. Enjoy!
