Inspiration

Resumes are dead PDFs. Recruiters skim them in 6 seconds and forget. We wanted
anyone — students, career switchers, devs without a portfolio — to turn their
existing resume into a living, shareable personal site without touching a
template gallery or fighting Wix.

## What it does
CVfy takes a resume (PDF or paste), extracts experience, projects, skills, and education with an LLM, and generates a polished portfolio site published at a
custom slug (cvfy.app/u/your-name). Users can edit content, swap themes, link
GitHub for live project data, and reshare instantly.

## How we built it

• Next.js 15 App Router + React 19 for the editor and public portfolio pages
  
• Vercel AI SDK + Claude/OpenAI for resume parsing and section generation
  
• Neon Postgres + Drizzle ORM for portfolio + user storage
  
• NextAuth for auth, with admin roles and GitHub account linking
  
• Vercel Blob for resume + image uploads
  
• Tailwind + shadcn/ui for the design system
  
• Deployed on Vercel with preview deployments per PR
  

## Challenges we ran into

• Reliable resume parsing across wildly inconsistent PDF layouts
  
• Keeping LLM output structured and cheap (prompt caching + schema-constrained generation)
  
• Handling external image URLs cleanly when deleting from Blob
  
• SEO + OG image generation for public portfolio pages
  

## What we learned
Structured output + tight schemas beat clever prompts. Caching LLM calls per resume hash dropped costs ~80%. Shipping a real public URL on day one made the
product feel finished long before it was.

## What's next

• Custom domains
  
• Theme marketplace
  
• Auto-sync from LinkedIn / GitHub
  
• Analytics dashboard for portfolio views
