Resume

Resume Builder CLI - A multi-agent system that generates tailored, ATS-friendly resumes

A CLI that pulls career history documented on Notion, reads a job posting, writes a tailored resume, seeks review, and compiles to an ATS-friendly PDF. Built as a four-agent pipeline. Each agent runs off its own written spec: inputs, output contract, rules it can’t break, like never inventing a metric or failing silently.

I studied computer science and found my way into design unexpectedly.

After college, I spent a year shooting for a local magazine in Visakhapatnam. When photography didn’t seem sustainable, I moved to Hyderabad to figure out what came next. Two weeks later, a classmate from engineering asked if I wanted to try web design on a contract. I said yes, and it became the beginning of everything that followed.

Since childhood, I’ve always been curious about how things work and why people do what they do. I didn’t realise then that curiosity would become the foundation of my growth as a designer. Photography sharpened that instinct. It taught me to pay attention to people, stories, and details others often miss.

I’ve never approached design as someone obsessed with pixels or processes. What I have is a knack for figuring things out and the ability to bring ideas to life. That mindset took me from web design to UX and, eventually, to leading product and design strategy.

For the last six months, I’ve been on a sabbatical, exploring and building with AI. In many ways, it’s taken me back to the early days of my career, when I spent hours building websites. Over time, I traded that builder mindset for design, strategy, and research and, somewhere along the way, stopped building altogether. Working with AI has reminded me how much I love bringing ideas to life and has changed the way I think about the future of design-I’m still not a developer, but I can now go beyond designing and build many of the things I imagine.

I love spaces that keep me curious, close to the problem, and free to contribute beyond the boundaries of design.

Sharan took on an engineer who wanted to be a designer and had the patience to actually see it through. He spent his own time running UX whiteboarding sessions with me until deciding quickly stopped feeling like guessing, and he reviewed my work with a precision I have not encountered since, always landing on the exact moment a user journey fell apart. The habit he left me with is thinking in journeys and systems instead of screens, which matters more now than it ever has. I went from a Design Intern to an Experience Designer under him, and I know exactly who to credit for it. Honest, hands-on, and genuinely invested in the people he works with. Any team would be better for having him.
