How I architected an AI-powered resume platform that understands your career story and tailors it for each opportunity
As a developer, I've always been frustrated by the "spray and pray" approach to job applications. Generic resumes that don't match job requirements, hours spent manually tailoring each application, and the constant worry about ATS compatibility. What if I could build something that actually understands your career story and intelligently adapts it for each opportunity?
That question led me to build CareerCraft Studio – an AI-powered platform that transforms how professionals create and manage their career documents. But this isn't just another resume builder. It's a showcase of modern AI-first architecture, featuring specialized agents, end-to-end type safety, and intelligent data processing.
The heart of CareerCraft Studio is its agent-based architecture. Instead of a monolithic AI system, I built a team of specialized agents that work together to handle different aspects of career management.
// Simplified example of the agent routing system
const supervisorAgent = {
route_to_agent: (userIntent) => {
if (userIntent.includes("add work experience")) return "data_manager";
if (userIntent.includes("generate resume")) return "resume_generator";
if (userIntent.includes("analyze job posting")) return "job_posting_manager";
// ... intelligent routing logic
}
};// Example of the intelligent parsing system
class ResumeParsingService {
async parseResume(resumeText: string, userId: string) {
// AI extraction of structured data
const extractedData = await this.llm.extract(resumeText);
// Batch database operations for performance
await this.db.transaction(async (tx) => {
await this.createWorkHistory(tx, extractedData.workHistory);
await this.createSkills(tx, extractedData.skills);
await this.createAchievements(tx, extractedData.achievements);
});
// Intelligent skill categorization
await this.normalizeSkills(userId);
}
}enum SkillCategory {
PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE,
MEDICAL_PROCEDURE,
FINANCIAL_ANALYSIS,
LEGAL_RESEARCH,
MARKETING_STRATEGY,
// ... 30+ categories across industries
}
// "React (hooks, context)" vs "React" - same skill, different detail levels// End-to-end type safety from DB to UI
const trpcClient = api.chat.useSubscription({
onData: (aiResponse) => {
// TypeScript knows the exact shape of aiResponse
// Autocomplete works perfectly here
console.log(aiResponse.content, aiResponse.metadata);
},
onError: (error) => {
// Proper error handling with typed errors
}
});Users can chat naturally: "Add my job at Tech Corp where I built React apps and led a team of 5 developers."
Upload a job posting and get instant analysis of how well your profile matches.
Intelligent organization and optimization of career achievements.
The future is AI-first applications built with traditional web development patterns. TypeScript and modern tooling make complex AI systems approachable, while focusing on real user problems ensures we're building something valuable.
The key is to start with the user problem, then let modern tools handle the complexity. CareerCraft Studio proves that individual developers can build sophisticated AI applications that compete with well-funded startups.
