01 / PURPOSE

What it makes possible.

Help a person articulate their experience through a guided conversation instead of starting from an empty document.

  • Voice input through the Web Speech API, with a text alternative.
  • Structured questions, résumé versions and interview preparation.
  • Three templates, Google sign-in and PDF or JPG export.
02 / ARCHITECTURE

Under the surface.

  1. 01

    A Go backend using Gin coordinates application and generation flows.

  2. 02

    React and TypeScript provide the interview and editing interface.

  3. 03

    MongoDB stores structured résumé journeys; AI services assist with question and content generation.

03 / ENGINEERING DECISIONS

The deliberate choices.

  • Keep text input available when voice support is unavailable or unwanted.
  • Store structured experience so it can be reused across templates.
  • Let users revisit versions and refine generated content before export.
04 / OUTCOME & STATUS

Where it stands.

A working résumé builder with conversational input, templates and exports. Its Go backend keeps the conversational workflow and structured résumé data together.
