# AI Resume

**An AI-powered resume and career showcase — a terminal-inspired interface that lets recruiters ask questions and get answers about my work.**

A React application that presents a resume through an interactive, terminal-flavored interface. Features Markdown rendering, syntax highlighting, and a terminal emulator (`xterm`) — designed to demonstrate both front-end craft and AI integration for employment outreach.

## What it is

A showcase site where my professional story is told through an interactive AI experience. Instead of a static PDF, recruiters engage with a terminal-style interface backed by AI — asking questions about experience, skills, and projects, and receiving answers rendered as rich Markdown.

## Tech stack

| Layer | Technology |
|-------|-----------|
| Framework | React 19 |
| Build | Vite 6 |
| Terminal UI | xterm (`@xterm/xterm`) |
| Markdown | react-markdown |
| Syntax highlighting | prismjs |
| Language | TypeScript |

## Architecture & design patterns

- **Terminal-driven UX** — `xterm` provides the interactive terminal canvas
- **Markdown pipeline** — AI responses rendered through `react-markdown` + prismjs syntax highlighting for code blocks
- **Componentized** — `App.tsx` orchestrates the hero, framework, and terminal views
- **Vite HMR** — fast development with hot module replacement
- **Static + dynamic blend** — static showcase content augmented by the live AI interface

## Standards

- TypeScript
- Semantic HTML
- Vite production build (`tsc -b && vite build`)
- ESLint for code quality

## Getting started

```bash
npm install
npm run dev      # development server
npm run build    # production build
npm run lint     # lint
```

## Structure

```
src/
├── assets/       # Images (hero, framework logos)
├── App.tsx       # Main application shell
├── App.css       # Styling
├── index.css     # Global styles
└── main.tsx      # Entry point
```

## Roadmap

- [ ] Wire the terminal to the AI resume backend (see `aboutme_chat` — the LangChain/RAG service)
- [ ] Embed AI Q&A about experience, skills, and projects
- [ ] Add project gallery with syntax-highlighted code samples
