Inspiration

Our inspiration behind our project was to create a cohesive simple and elegant website that intuitively showed the most in demand frameworks and technologies in todays job market using real-time job board data by utilizing the flexibility of Kestra's flows.

What it does

Our Kestra flow runs a data miner once a month to initialize the website database by searching job descriptions and calculating the most in demand technologies. Users can then see a list of these frameworks and can upload their resume to see how an ATS may approach reading their resume. By uploading a resume user's are shown what skills they possess that are in demand and can point out areas of improvement

How we built it

This was built using Kestra Flow automations paired with a React front-end and a Node.js backend both of which are initialized and managed via Kestra.

Challenges we ran into

There were a variety of challenges integrating Kestra into the design of the project as well as many challenges with getting the various pieces to work such as uploading the pdf to have it be processed.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud to have come together as a team and keeping with the spirit of the season we are thankful to have the wonderful opportunity to spend the time to learn emerging technologies like Kestra and finding real world use cases for our designs.

What we learned

How excellent a tool Kestra can be when used alongside a project. It can provide excellent utility in how it is capable of collecting data quite easily. In tandem with how it is able to run various pieces of a program efficiently to ensure it works as intended it made for an excellent experience showing how much tools like these can improve quality of life.
