AI Résumé Match — AI-Assisted Development Case Study

Overview

AI Résumé Match is a generative AI web application that helps candidates quickly evaluate how well their résumé aligns with a job description. Users upload a résumé and paste a job posting, and the system returns a clear breakdown of matched skills, missing qualifications, and explanatory context using large language models.

Beyond the end-user functionality, this project also served as a case study in AI-assisted software development, using Claude Code as an in-repo pair programmer to accelerate refactoring, debugging, and deployment.

Problem

As the application evolved, the codebase grew to include multiple routes, parsing paths (PDF/DOCX), UI states, and deployment configurations. Making cross-cutting changes—while preserving behavior and testability—became increasingly time-consuming and error-prone.

Why Claude Code

I used Claude Code from Anthropic because it operates directly inside the repository, understands cross-file dependencies, and can run and react to real command output—unlike chat-only coding assistants.

This allowed me to safely iterate on a real production codebase rather than isolated snippets.
