Hiro: AI-Powered Career Enhancement Platform
Built a GenAI-driven full-stack application to address inefficiencies in the application process by automating the adaptation of CVs, cover letters, and interview prep to specific job contexts.
Context
Starting point and environment
Job seekers spend excessive time manually tailoring CVs and cover letters for each application. ATS systems filter out well-qualified candidates due to formatting and keyword mismatches. Interview preparation lacks personalization to specific roles.
Challenge
Core constraint to solve
Create an AI platform that automates CV enhancement with ATS optimization, generates tailored cover letters, and provides context-aware interview preparation — while maintaining professional quality across recruiter-ready export formats.
Solution
Design and implementation approach
Built a React + FastAPI application with ATS-optimized CV enhancement including keyword alignment and formatting compliance. Implemented tailored cover letter generation based on industry and literature review. Designed a responsive, accessible platform for both beginners and experienced professionals with seamless PDF and LaTeX export.
Outcome
Measurable impact and delivery result
Functional platform that dramatically reduces application preparation time. Demonstrates practical GenAI application for career optimization — addressing a universal pain point with production-quality tooling.
Key Takeaway
“Good AI products remove friction, they do not add features for show. ATS quality depended on recruiter workflow details, and export quality mattered as much as generated text.”
