I Built a Tool That Turns Your GitHub Into a Portfolio Recruiters Actually Read

As developers, we spend years building solid projects…
and then summarize everything in a one-page resume that barely gets looked at.

I ran into this problem myself while applying and reviewing profiles:

GitHub repos are powerful but hard for non-technical reviewers to evaluate

Portfolios are either overdesigned or outdated

Resumes rarely explain impact, only tools

So I decided to build a tool that connects the dots — GitHub → Resume → Portfolio → Recruiter action.

🚧 What I Built

The platform focuses on making developer work easy to understand and easy to act on.

Core Features

  • AI-powered resume generation from GitHub projects and experience
  • No-code portfolio builder (fully customizable from a dashboard)
  • One-click publishing with your own shareable URL
  • Custom portfolio themes (no boilerplate templates)
  • Real-time analytics on portfolio views
  • Resume open tracking + viewer location insights
  • Built-in call scheduler so recruiters can book instantly

🎯 Job-Search Focused Tools

After feedback from friends and early users, I added features specifically for job hunting:

  • AI Cover Letter Generator
    Paste any Job Description → get a tailored, company-specific cover letter

  • ATS Score Analyzer
    Match your resume against a JD, get an ATS score, and see exactly what needs fixing

  • Job Application Tracker
    Paste a job link once and track application status without spreadsheets or Notion setups

🤔 Why This Exists

I didn’t want to replace GitHub or LinkedIn.

The goal is simple:

Help recruiters understand a developer’s work in under 2 minutes
and help developers know what’s actually working in their applications.

No more generic portfolios.
No more guesswork.
Just clearer signals on both sides.

📈 Current Status

The product is already live and being used by a small group of developers.
I’m still iterating heavily based on feedback.

🙏 Looking for Feedback

If you’re a developer who’s:

  • been through multiple job searches, or
  • reviewed resumes / portfolios, or
  • built something similar

I’d love to hear:

  • What matters most in a developer portfolio?
  • What feels unnecessary here?
  • What would you add or remove?

Happy to share the link in the comments if anyone’s interested — didn’t want to drop it unprompted.
