Your role calls for clear workflows and a consistent design system. My experience turning complex product requirements into usable interfaces is directly relevant to that work.

Soloos is a self-directed product, not a recruitment assignment. I connected product design with a full-stack implementation: collect candidate context, understand the role, draft a relevant letter, keep the person in control and track what happens next.

01 / CONTEXT

Context before generation

A letter is only as useful as the evidence behind it. The workflow combines a structured career profile with job requirements and optional public work evidence before calling the model.

02 / PRODUCT

A workspace, not another chatbot

AI appears as specific actions inside a familiar editor. The application remains a product with persistent documents, explicit states and a clear next step—not a prompt box pretending to be one.

01

Evidence-based drafting

CV import, structured job research, screening answers and optional Figma evidence supply context instead of a generic biography.

02

Editable CVs

Profile-prefilled documents, plain-text sections, live preview, duplication and downloadable PDFs.

03

Application tracking

Search, five statuses, notes, follow-up dates, due indicators and links to owned cover letters.

04

Three document languages

English, Russian and Armenian interfaces and document output, with bundled fonts for multilingual PDF export.

03 / ARCHITECTURE

Small contracts. Clear boundaries.

Next.js handles the workspace and server endpoints. Supabase supplies authentication and user-owned Postgres records. Gemini drafts and transforms text; the human decides what to keep. PDFKit handles document export.

04 / SOURCE

Inspect the implementation

These excerpts come from the published source. They show the contracts behind the interface—not decorative pseudo-code.

Scope data to its owner

Reads include the authenticated user ID. Mutations and linked-letter checks use the same ownership boundary alongside database RLS.

lib/workspace/server.ts ↗
const { data: { user }, error: authError } =
  await db.auth.getUser();
if (authError || !user)
  return reply({ error: "unauthorized" }, 401);

let query = db.from(table[kind])
  .select("*")
  .eq("user_id", user.id);

Mark untrusted model input

External text is explicitly framed as input data. This is one defensive layer, not a guarantee against prompt injection.

lib/gemini/prompts.ts ↗
function safeUserInput(label: string, content: string): string {
  return [
    `<<<USER_INPUT:${label}>>>`,
    content,
    `<<<END_USER_INPUT:${label}>>>`,
  ].join("\n");
}

05 / VERIFICATION

What is verified—and what is not

11 automated tests passed

Tests cover outbound-request boundaries, mocked CRUD and ownership checks, input validation, and real PDF text extraction and pagination in all three languages. Type checks and the production build also passed.

Ship the smallest useful system

The CV and tracker MVPs reuse existing tables with versioned JSON and legacy text compatibility. This avoids a new migration while keeping the workflow usable. Production scale would justify typed metadata columns, distributed limits and a connected integration-test suite.
