🌍 Project Proposal: Globally Adaptive GitHub Resume Generator

🎯 Goal

We’re building a smart, globally aware resume generator that automatically adapts to different countries’ resume conventions, formatting rules, and professional standards. The idea is to move beyond a generic Markdown export — and instead, generate region-specific, ATS-friendly, and culturally aligned resumes with minimal manual effort.


💡 Why This Matters

Resume formats and content expectations vary widely between regions.
For example:

  • 🇺🇸 US resumes avoid personal details (photo, DOB) and focus on achievements.
  • 🇪🇺 European (EU/UK) resumes often prioritize structured sections and use “Education” before “Experience.”
  • 🇮🇳 Indian resumes frequently include personal info, address, and sometimes a photo.
  • 🇩🇪 German resumes may include a professional photo and personal statement.

Our tool will intelligently adapt to each country’s rules and layout conventions — letting users instantly generate compliant, polished resumes for any region.


🧩 Key Features & Roadmap

Phase 1: Foundation Upgrade

  • Modular Markdown Templates
    Separate templates for different regions (resume_us.md, resume_eu.md, etc.), dynamically selected based on user input or detected location.
  • Backend Template Rendering (Python)
    Use Jinja2 in Flask/FastAPI to fill in user data and generate markdown or other formats.
  • Frontend Enhancement
    Add a “Select Country” dropdown and clean up UI transitions, with country-specific placeholders and hints.

Phase 2: Localization & Compliance

  • Resume Rules Database
    JSON config defining what each region requires (e.g., include photo = true/false, order of sections).
  • Language Localization
    Translated section headers (e.g., “Education” → “Ausbildung” for Germany).
  • ATS Optimization Mode
    Toggle to produce simple, keyword-rich resumes optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems.

Phase 3: Personalization & Intelligence

  • GitHub Integration
    Automatically fetch top repositories, skills, and project descriptions using the GitHub API.
  • AI-Powered Resume Writing
    Use LLM APIs to auto-generate a professional summary and rephrase experience bullets for tone and clarity.
  • Validation System
    Check for missing sections, excessive wordiness, or formatting issues, and give country-specific tips.

Phase 4: Export & Deployment

  • Multiple Export Formats: .md, .pdf, .docx, .json.

  • API Endpoint: /generate_resume so other tools or Node-RED flows can use the generator programmatically.

  • Cloud Deployment:

    • Backend → Render/Railway/AWS Lambda
    • Frontend → GitHub Pages or Vercel
    • Storage → PostgreSQL or Supabase

🔐 Privacy & Compliance

  • No data storage without explicit consent.
  • GDPR-compliant handling for EU users.
  • Option for users to instantly delete their data.

⚙️ Example Workflow

  1. User selects “Germany” → system loads resume_germany.md rules (photo=true, date format=DD.MM.YYYY).
  2. They fill the form or connect GitHub.
  3. Backend fills in the Jinja2 template with proper structure and localized labels.
  4. Output: Clean, compliant, ATS-ready Markdown or PDF resume.

🧠 Outcome

This turns the current GitHub Resume Generator into a global resume engine that’s:

  • Region-aware
  • Language-adaptive
  • AI-assisted
  • Ready for professional and ATS use everywhere
