hey, i'm the solo dev behind barrage.cv.

quick backstory: i spent about 4 months job searching as a developer. filled out hundreds of applications manually, tailored cover letters nobody read, answered the same 15 screening questions over and over. was spending roughly 3 hours a day on this.

at some point i snapped and just started automating it. first it was a janky script that filled linkedin easy apply forms. then it needed to handle screening questions, so i added ai. then i wanted it to run overnight without my browser open, so i moved it to a server.

now it sends around 50 applications per day and honestly gets me more callbacks than when i was hand-crafting each one. not sure what that says about hiring but here we are.
