CVOR came from solving two personal frustrations - data control and job search clarity.

Data felt disposable - Personal documents are shared, stored, and discarded with little care - Once shared, you lose control over where they end up - I wanted a way to retain control even after sharing - Inspired by a childhood memory my dad crossing out documents to make them useless elsewhere - This led to recipient-oriented watermarking the foundation of CVOR Guard

Job search felt broken - Too many tools, tabs, and fragmented workflows - Constant guesswork: Am I even a good fit? - Time wasted reading, applying, and getting instant rejections - Manual effort: copying jobs, tailoring CVs, tracking applications - Existing tools didn t help - expensive subscriptions, mass-apply bots creating false productivity, black-box scoring with no real explanation

What I wanted instead - Fewer tools, more clarity - Decide before applying, not after - Understand why a role fits or doesn t - Keep everything private and under my control
