Not a developer.<br> 4+ years in TA, 140+ hires across 18 countries. </p> <p>A few weeks ago I shipped a full-stack AI platform used by people across Germany, USA, India and beyond.

Both sides losing from opposite ends of the same broken process.<br> So I built My Ideal Candidate, the only AI hiring platform serving both sides simultaneously.</p> <p>The stack:</p> <p>Lovable — built everything through conversation<br> Supabase — auth, database, edge functions<br> Gemini + Claude API — CV scoring, gap analysis, Sam the AI consultant<br> Resend — transactional emails<br> Google OAuth — Drive and Sheets integration</p> <p>The numbers:<br> 400+ visitors. 8+ countries. 60% mobile.
