Show HN: I built a "Headless CMS" for my resume (Next.js and Puppeteer)

I got tired of maintaining resume_google.docx, resume_amazon.docx, and resume_v5_final.pdf.

Version control for resumes is broken. So I built a "Single Source of Truth" system.

The Logic:

The Database: You dump everything (all projects, 10 years of history) into one JSON-like structure.

The Query: You paste a Job Description.

The Render: The system "queries" your history for matching skills/bullets and renders a tailored 1-page PDF using a custom Puppeteer engine.

It’s basically CI/CD for job applications.

Tech Stack:

Next.js 15 (App Router)

NestJS (Backend logic)

Puppeteer (Custom rendering engine to fix page-break issues)

I’m open to roasting on the code or the "matching" logic.
