How a Frustrated Job Hunt Built This Platform!!! Hi, I'm Gabriel Chimilevschi. And Yes, I Built This Out of Spite (The Good Kind). Let me tell you a story. Not the typical "About Us" corporate fluff you're used to reading. This is the real deal—the slightly embarrassing, totally relatable tale of how this platform came to exist. Picture this: I'm a senior web developer with years of solid experience, a portfolio of projects I'm genuinely proud of, and skills that should've had recruiters knocking down my door. I was ready to conquer the job market. So I did what every modern professional does—I fired up LinkedIn, polished my Glassdoor profile, and started hunting. But first, I needed a resume. I found a website that let me create and download my resume for free in PDF format. I was thrilled. I filled in all my information, downloaded my shiny new PDF, uploaded it to LinkedIn, and sat back waiting for the offers to roll in. Weeks went by. Then months. I applied to dozens of positions—jobs I was objectively qualified for, maybe even overqualified for. "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to move forward with other candidates." Again. And again. And again. I started to wonder: Am I the problem? Did I suddenly forget how to code? Have I been living a lie this whole time? One sleepless night, after another rejection email, I stumbled upon something called ATS—Applicant Tracking Systems. Turns out, that robot-like feeling I had? It was actual robots. These systems scan resumes before any human ever sees them. They filter, parse, and score your resume based on formatting, keywords, and structure. And if your resume doesn't meet their mysterious criteria? Into the digital void it goes. Rejected. Unseen. Unloved. I tested my beautiful, free, downloaded resume through an ATS checker. It failed miserably. The formatting was all wrong. The columns confused the parser. Half my experience got lost in translation. To the ATS, my resume looked like gibberish. No wonder I was getting nowhere—I was being rejected by robots before any human even knew I existed. I felt betrayed. Angry. But mostly? I felt determined. Here's the thing about being a developer: when something doesn't exist or doesn't work the way it should, you build it yourself. So that's exactly what I did. I thought: "If I'm struggling with this, how many other talented people are getting filtered out by these systems? How many amazing candidates are being overlooked because their resume formatting isn't 'robot-friendly'?" I rolled up my sleeves and started building what would become this platform—a resume and cover letter builder that: - Generates ATS-friendly PDFs that actually get past the bots - Uses AI to create compelling, professional content (because let's face it, writing about yourself is hard) - Makes professional design accessible to everyone, not just people with graphic design skills - Helps you build an online presence that goes beyond a static PDF I built it for me. But really, I built it for all of us. I used my own platform to create a new resume. A proper, ATS-optimized PDF, professionally written, beautifully designed resume. Suddenly, recruiters were reaching out. Hiring managers were responding. I was getting actual interviews with actual humans who had actually read my resume.
