Building in Public: CV Analyzer — The Prologue

Hello everyone! It’s me, Voke || vawkei, the MERN developer with the fire, and this marks the start of a #buildinginpublic series where I’ll be building a CV Analyzer web application from scratch.

This will be a full-stack application built with:

  • React.js on the frontend
  • Node.js / Express.js on the backend
  • A database-backed architecture
  • An LLM integration to analyze job–candidate fit

The goal of the app is simple but practical:
To allow a user (or recruiter) to analyze how well a CV matches a job role using AI and understand why.

This series isn’t a polished tutorial.
It’s a live build diary.

As I design, code, break things, and fix them, I will document:

  • architectural decisions
  • mistakes and trade-offs
  • prompts, AI logic, and integration choices
  • real-world challenges that don’t show up in “perfect” demos

The series will be long, detailed, and raw.
The aim is not just a working product, but a clear record of how it was built.

So what are we waiting for? Let’s get this party started…

I will catch you in the next part.
