The challenge

Most CV tools are formatting tools. They make a document look tidy but leave the hardest part to the user: deciding what to emphasise for this particular role, and phrasing it as an outcome instead of a duty. Meanwhile applicant tracking systems silently discard layouts they cannot parse.

What I built

The app keeps a structured profile of everything a person has done, then treats each application as a projection of that profile against a pasted job description. It extracts the requirements from the posting, matches them to real entries in the profile, and rewrites bullets to lead with outcomes — always from stored facts, never inventing experience. Every export is a clean, parseable document, and each generated version is saved so applications can be compared later.

Outcome

Tailoring a CV went from an hour of rewriting to a couple of minutes of review. Because output is generated from stored facts and always exported in a parseable layout, applications stop dying quietly in the screening step.

Key capabilities
