AI Resume Builder

Use your AI powered IDE to paste in relevant data and update the resume in index.html.

Run npm run gen to output the pdf.

Overview

• Resume follows an ATS friendly template (Single column, simple, etc).
• Copy-paste your current resume to the LLM (Cursor/Windsurf) to turn my resume into yours.
• Copy-paste a job description: "Optimize the resume for this job posting"
• Add work experience: "Use my exported jira tickets to populate my work"
• Generate from notes: "Turn these work notes into resume bullets"
• Run your resume through an ATS system like Jobscan to iterate.

Version Management

Keep your baseline resume clean with company-specific versions organized in dedicated directories:

Directory Structure

resume/
├── index.html                    # Baseline/master resume (never modify for companies)
├── versions/                     # Company-specific HTML files
│   ├── index-CompanyA.html
│   └── index-CompanyB.html
├── pdfs/                         # Generated PDF files
│   ├── Daniel Israel Resume.pdf           # Baseline PDF
│   ├── Daniel Israel - CompanyA Resume.pdf
│   └── Daniel Israel - CompanyB Resume.pdf
└── generate-pdf.js               # PDF generator script

Workflow

• Baseline: index.html stays general-purpose (your master resume)
• Custom versions: When applying to companies, the AI creates versions/index-CompanyName.html files
• Generate PDFs: node generate-pdf.js CompanyName → saves to pdfs/Daniel Israel - CompanyName Resume.pdf

This prevents version drift and keeps your baseline resume pristine while allowing unlimited company-specific customizations!

Quick Start

You'll need Cursor (or another AI editor) and Node.js.

git clone https://github.com/disrae/resume.git
cd resume
npm install
cursor .
# Edit your resume using pasted Job Descriptions into cursor, and natural language about your work...

# Generate baseline PDF
npm run generate # or: node generate-pdf.js

# Generate company-specific PDFs
node generate-pdf.js CompanyName

# PDFs are saved to the pdfs/ directory
npm run dev # to iterate just on the content of the pdf, but won't show true layout on letter sized sheet.
