How I Built an AI-Powered Resume Builder Using Next.js 15 and Google Gemini AI

πŸš€ The Problem I Wanted to Solve

Most resume builders online are either too generic or charge recurring subscriptions.
As a developer, I wanted something powerful, private, and fully customizable β€” so I decided to build my own AI-powered Resume Builder SaaS from scratch.

It turned out so well that I’m now sharing the entire production-ready codebase with anyone who wants to launch their own version.

🧩 What’s Inside Resume Builder Pro

βš™οΈ Full-stack codebase β€” Next.js 15 + React 19 + TypeScript + Prisma + PostgreSQL

🧠 Google Gemini AI integration β€” Resume Parser, Keyword Optimizer, ATS Score Checker

πŸͺ„ 60+ professional templates β€” grouped into technical, executive, creative, and modern designs

πŸ” Authentication system β€” Email, Google, and LinkedIn OAuth via NextAuth v5

πŸ“¦ Export options β€” PDF, DOCX, TXT, JSON backup

🧰 Built-in tools β€” Resume Score Calculator, Cover Letter Builder, Keyword Density Analyzer

🐳 Deployment ready β€” Dockerfile, Vercel config, and AWS/GCP guides

πŸͺΆ TailwindCSS UI with Radix UI and Lucide icons

πŸ“š Comprehensive documentation (INSTALLATION.md, DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md, LICENSE.txt)

🧠 Why AI Matters Here

Integrating Google Gemini made a huge difference:

Parse any uploaded PDF and extract structured data

Instantly check ATS compatibility (98 % success in tests)

Suggest action verbs and missing keywords

Auto-generate bullet points using AI

This makes resume building genuinely intelligent, not just form-filling.
