Executive Summary & Strategic Overview

I built an open-source career toolkit for software engineers. It turns a single repository into a public portfolio and a private career center.

Verified Performance Metrics & Business Impact

Open Source

Career Toolkit

Free community toolkit giving engineers complete data ownership without recurring SaaS fees.

1 Source

Portfolio & Resumes

One central repository powers both the live portfolio website and tailored job application materials.

Local-First

Career Hub

Stores all resumes, job records, and pitch notes on your machine in plain Markdown.

The Engineering Challenge

Managing personal portfolios and job applications is frustrating for software engineers. Commercial site builders lock data behind expensive monthly fees. Updating resumes for every job requires tedious manual copy-pasting. Developers need a way to own their career data locally.

The Architectural Solution

I extracted the system powering my own portfolio into an open-source framework. Developers maintain one central knowledge base in their repository. The toolkit automatically updates their portfolio site and generates tailored resumes for job applications. It helps my engineer friends run their own career headquarters locally.

Core Technical & Architectural Highlights

Single Source of Truth System

Maintains one central repository that powers both the public website and tailored application materials.

Modular Agent Career Skills

Includes focused workflows that analyze job posts, score relevance, and compile single-page resumes.

Private Local Data Ownership

Keeps all personal career data and notes in local Markdown files without vendor lock-in.

Agentic AI Pair Programming & Antigravity Acceleration

I built Showcase by dogfooding it on my own portfolio during active job hunting. I used AI pair programming to refine the knowledge base structure. Then I packaged the workflows for my friends to use.
