I wanted something in between — pick a template, feed it your <br> experience, and let AI handle the structuring and copy.</p> <h2> The stack </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Backend:</strong> Laravel — handled routing, auth, and the AI integration layer</li> <li> <strong>Frontend:</strong> Vue.js — powers the interactive template switching and live preview</li> <li> <strong>AI layer:</strong> takes raw resume/experience input and structures it into portfolio-ready sections (summary, skills, project descriptions)</li> </ul> <h2> What was tricky </h2> <p>Getting the AI-generated content to actually fit different template <br> layouts cleanly was the hardest part — a summary that reads well in <br> one template's card layout can overflow or look awkward in another. <br> Ended up building the generation step to be template-aware rather than <br> generating generic text and hoping it fits everywhere.</p> <h2> Where it's at </h2> <p>It's live now at <a href="https://ascendcareer.click" rel="noopener noreferrer">ascendcareer.click</a> — <br> free to use, still actively improving it. If you're a developer or <br> job seeker who's tired of rebuilding your portfolio from scratch every <br> time, I'd love for you to try it and tell me what's missing.</p> <p>Would also love feedback from other Laravel/Vue devs on the codebase <br> approach — always looking to improve how I'm structuring the <br> AI-to-template pipeline.</p> ai portfolio job cv
