Inspiration

In today’s job market, resumes are often static, outdated, and hard to interpret by both humans and AI systems. Many students and developers struggle to understand their skill gaps and don’t know what to learn next. I wanted to build an AI-powered system that doesn’t just show a resume, but actively guides a person’s career growth like a personal mentor

What it does

I built CareerOS, an AI Career Operating System that:

Analyzes resumes using AI

Detects skills, experience level, and missing skills

Generates personalized career roadmaps

Acts as an AI mentor chatbot for career guidance

Supports multi-language responses (English, Hindi, Hinglish)

Provides a clean dashboard UI for users

The goal is to turn a resume into a living career intelligence system.

How we built it

Frontend: React + Vite (for dashboard UI)

Backend: FastAPI (Python)

AI: Google Gemini API for resume analysis and mentor chat

OCR: Text extraction from PDFs and images

Architecture: Separate frontend and backend (microservice style)

Deployment-ready: API documentation using Swagger

Challenges we ran into

Connecting frontend with backend APIs and handling CORS issues

Parsing resumes accurately using OCR

Designing AI prompts to give useful and human-like career advice

Managing multiple tech stacks (React + Python) as a beginner

Debugging environment and dependency conflicts
