enter image description here

I'm very very new to LaTeX and not even sure if this is possible.

        \resumeSubheading
            {Undergraduate Research Assistant}
            {6 Years \& 3 Months}  % 1 <----------------------------------------
            {College Station, TX}
            {}
            \resumeSubSubheading
                {Texas A\&M University}
                {June 2020 -- Present} % 2 <----------------------------------------
                \resumeItemListStart
                    \resumeItem{Developed a REST API using FastAPI and PostgreSQL to store data from learning management systems}
                    \resumeItem{Developed a full-stack web application using Flask, React, PostgreSQL and Docker to analyze GitHub data}
                    \resumeItem{Explored ways to visualize GitHub collaboration in a classroom setting}
                \resumeItemListEnd
            \resumeSubSubheading
                {Software Engineer I}
                {Oct 2014 - Sep 2016}  % 3 <----------------------------------------
                \resumeItemListStart
                    \resumeItem{Apache Beam is a unified model for defining both batch and streaming data-parallel processing pipelines}
                \resumeItemListEnd

note: I'm a computer science student, so Python programming thinking and references ahead.

I want the lines 2 and 3 to be something like \datediffprint{undergradResearchAssist}{June 2020}{\today} and \datediffprint{undergradResearchAssist}{Oct 2014}{Sep 2016} respectively and it will store the values in a Python dictionary like way with undergradResearchAssist as key and the two dates as a list of difference of dates like like [1182, 727,] with 1128 being days diff between June 2020 to today and 727 being days diff between oct 2014 to sep 2016. Also the command \datediffprint would output the text shown in 2 and 3.

While 1 should be something like \dateExperienceTime{undergradResearchAssist} to print the experience in years and months as shown by calculating the sum of days in list [1182, 727,] and outputting.

The logic could be different, like instead of list of diffs just add the days to value. I want this so I won't have to manually calculate the experience for each job experience I have.

    You might look at the tikz calendar and pgfplots dateplot libraries (Section 4.21.2). While they are only concerned with displaying dates, they may have useful macros. – John Kormylo Aug 26 '23 at 17:40

  • pgf calendar (as opposed to the tikz library) is useful. datenumber is also a possibility. Basically, you want to turn the date into a Julian date number for calculations. You could just do it in python, I assume, though you don't need to. Just don't try turning months/days into fractions of years. You want everything to be done on integers. – cfr Aug 26 '23 at 23:06
