Projects
AI-Powered resume optimization platform and job application tracker that analyzes the user resumes and suggests improvements and also scores the user resume. Moreover, the user can also track job applications as well at different stages of the hiring process for all of the jobs the user applies to. I worked here as a full-stack engineer and I've developed this project from scratch.
My role in this project was backend developer. This is a client product that solves the freelancers problem of switch multiple application. So with this platform, you've all of the tools inside, from initial meeting schedules, chats, contract milestones, milestones, payments, invoices, meetings, and all the way upto the contract end line. So you don't have to switch between different apps.
