Job platform and autofill extension

LLM résumé parsing with function calling and Zod validation, plus a Manifest V3 extension that fills applications on 300+ platforms.

Context

Blinkle AI helps job seekers find roles and apply faster. I worked across the stack: APIs, an LLM parsing pipeline, a browser extension, and database performance.

How it works

  1. 1

    APIs

    Job aggregation and application-tracking APIs in TypeScript, NestJS, Prisma, and AWS.

  2. 2

    Parse résumés

    An LLM pipeline extracts 30+ profile fields from PDF and DOCX files using function calling and Zod validation, tested on 500+ real résumés.

  3. 3

    Autofill

    A Manifest V3 Chrome extension in TypeScript and React fills applications on 300+ platforms, with per-ATS adapters and an LLM fallback for custom screening questions.

  4. 4

    Speed up the data layer

    Indexing, partitioning, and materialized views in PostgreSQL, plus Redis caching for hot jobs and sessions, cut query latency by 75% and database load by 40%.

Key decisions

Adapters first, LLM as the fallback

Deterministic per-ATS adapters handle known forms; the LLM only steps in for custom screening questions.

Validate model output like user input

Function calling gives the output structure; Zod validation checks every parsed field before it is used.
