Inspiration

Job seekers get lost in thousands of listings with unclear skill requirements. We built a "Career GPS" to match them with jobs and guide their learning.

What it does

Matches users with jobs using skill algorithms, provides AI career recommendations via personality quiz, generates learning roadmaps, tracks applications, scrapes LinkedIn for networking contacts.

How we built it

React + TypeScript + Tailwind for frontend. Supabase (PostgreSQL + Edge Functions) for backend. Gemini AI via Lovable gateway.

Challenges we ran into

AI returning markdown instead of JSON, fuzzy skill matching, metrics calculation bugs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Real-time skill matching across multiple jobs, beautiful UI, auto-generated roadmaps with real course links.

What we learned

PostgreSQL for multi-tenant apps, AI function calling for reliable outputs, fuzzy matching beats exact matching, edge functions are faster/cheaper.

What's next for LockedIN

Interview prep, salary insights, company reviews, referral system, mobile app, email alerts.
