Tech Stack
About
A comprehensive job application automation platform designed to streamline the job search process. The system intelligently scrapes job listings from multiple job boards, analyzes position requirements, and automatically generates customized resumes and cover letters using LLM APIs. This full-stack application features JWT-based authentication with AWS Cognito, MongoDB data persistence for storing jobs and applications, background job scheduling for continuous monitoring, and a modern dashboard for tracking application progress and statistics.
Technical Approach
Developed using a modern tech stack with FastAPI backend (Python) and Next.js frontend (TypeScript). The system architecture separates concerns across authentication (AWS Cognito), data persistence (MongoDB), and task automation (APScheduler). Job scraping leverages Playwright for web automation across supported job platforms. Resume and cover letter customization uses OpenAI APIs to tailor documents based on specific job requirements. Background job scheduling enables continuous monitoring of new listings matching user criteria.
