👋 To Hiring Managers & Recruiters

I am currently actively seeking Junior / Entry-Level Software Engineering roles.

This project was built to demonstrate my ability to construct production-ready, full-stack applications that solve real-world problems. Unlike standard tutorial clones, HireIQ features a complex architecture including:

• Cross-Origin Authentication: Secure JWT session syncing between a Chrome Extension and a React Web App.
• Performance Optimization: In-memory caching and distributed rate-limiting via Redis.
• Background Processing: Scheduled CRON jobs that send automated weekly email digests to users.
• AI Integration: Leveraging the Google Gemini API to dynamically parse job descriptions against user resumes and calculate match scores.

If you are looking for an engineer who understands full-stack data flow, deployment (AWS EC2 / Vercel), and user-centric design, I would love to connect!
