Data Science Resume Feedback and Semantic Job Recommendation System

This is a submission for the Redis AI Challenge: Real-Time AI Innovators.

What I Built

Career Code Advisor is a Redis‑powered, AI‑augmented job search app. It matches candidates to roles using hybrid search (full‑text + vectors), provides résumé‑aware recommendations, and surfaces real‑time engagement (live favorites + a rolling 60‑minute trend).

Highlights

Paste or upload your résumé → instant matches + short coaching feedback.
Faceted filters (location, company, skills) that feel instant.
Autocomplete & Ctrl+K quick launcher for speedy navigation.
Semantic fallback when text search returns few/no results.
Save jobs (⭐) and see live favorites in the upper right as well as real time increases in decreases in a grafana dashboard.

Demo

Live app: https://careercodeadvisor.com (The UI exposes Ctrl+K, Saved Jobs, “Live favorites” and “60min trend”, plus a Résumé Matcher.) :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

How I Used Redis 8

RedisJSON as primary store for job docs:
- Example shape: { title, company, location, skills[], text, embedding }
RediSearch for full‑text + faceted filters:
- Title/company as TEXT, skills and location as TAG, salary as NUMERIC.

Vector KNN for semantic search & “more‑like‑this”:
- Embedding dim: [fill: e.g., 1536], metric: COSINE, algorithm: [HNSW or FLAT].
Semantic cache for résumé feedback/skill extraction:
- Cache key: embedding of input; reuse if similarity ≥ [fill threshold, e.g., 0.90].
Real‑time UI surfaced via live favorites and a 60‑minute trend on Dashboard.

⚡ Try It Now (60 seconds)

Open https://careercodeadvisor.com.
Type a natural query like: python and toggle a filter (e.g., Location).
Try a quirky query (typo or rare phrase) to see semantic fallback suggestions.

Click Résumé Matcher, paste 6–8 lines from your résumé, and hit Match & Advise.

⭐ Save a job, then open Dashboard to see Live favorites and the 60‑minute trend update. A green line will go up as you save favorites and go down as you remove favorites.

🛣️ What’s Next

Profile‑aware ranking (learn from saves/clicks).
Alerts (new roles matching saved skills).
Multi‑embedding backends; offline batch re‑indexer.
Deeper analytics: Redis Streams → dashboard panels.

Why Redis?

With Redis 8 as the real‑time data layer, one stack powers search, vectors, caching, and live activity — keeping responses snappy and the UX visibly real‑time.
