# 💼 Job Preparation Tracker
A **microservices-based platform** to streamline your entire job preparation workflow — from DSA practice to job applications and resume tracking. No more messy spreadsheets. Built to be **scalable, fast**, and genuinely useful.
---
## 🚀 Why I Built This
As an aspiring backend developer, I found myself juggling between DSA prep, job applications, and resume updates — often in cluttered Google Sheets.
So, I built a **real-world, modular, and automated job-prep system** to replace all that mess.
---
## 🧠 Core Features
### 📌 DSA Tracker
- Spaced Repetition Logic (3-5-9 rule) for smart revision
- Add problems with tags, difficulty & revisit timers
- Auto-reminders for pending revisions
### 💼 Job Tracker
- Add job links, auto-parse JD using **JSoup**
- Pre-fills fields intelligently (company, role, location)
- Track applied, rejected, interviews, etc.
### 📄 Resume Tracker
- Resume versioning & tagging
- _(Upcoming)_ Resume scoring and feedback system using AI
---
## 🔧 Architecture Overview
### ✅ Design Highlights
- **Microservices**: DSA, Job, Resume – isolated and independently deployable
- **Layered Architecture**: DTOs, Services, Repositories
- **Performance Optimized**: Avg. API response <180ms
- **Future-Proof**: Plug-and-play modules, scalable DB relations
- **60–70% automation** via smart workflows
---
## 📈 Roadmap
- ✅ Core APIs for DSA, Jobs, Resumes
- ✅ Smart JD parsing & reminder system
- 🔄 React Frontend Dashboard (In Progress)
- 🔜 Resume Parser + AI PDF Scorer
- 🔜 Email/Slack Notifications for reminders
