DevFest 2026 - Resume Optimization
Paste a resume and a job posting, and get tailored bullets back.
The version everyone leaves with.
Two text boxes — paste resume text, paste job posting text. One button. AI returns tailored resume bullets, ready to copy. No PDF parsing, no cover letter, no export.
Things worth deciding early.
- 1What you refuse to build is the lesson. Skip the cover letter, the PDF parsing and the ATS scoring.
- 2Paste the whole job posting, not just the title. The full text is half the prompt's quality.
- 3Read the bullets out loud. If you would not say them in an interview, the prompt needs work.
What the at-home build adds.
- →Match score and missing keywords
- →PDF parsing for resume input
- →Cover letter generator
- →Interview question generator
- →Application tracker
Two tools. Two very different afternoons.
Neither is the beginner option. It comes down to what's already on your laptop, and whether you want a desktop IDE at all. Four questions, then bring the one that fits.
Already know which one you want?
What's on the laptop you'll bring?
Two hours, four movements.
- 0:00 – 0:15Intro
Grab a name tag and a slice, say hello to the instructor, and meet the people either side of you — you'll be asking them things later, so it pays to know their names now. Low pressure, high creativity, ship something messy. Then a quick word on what the room is building tonight, and you're off.
- 0:15 – 0:30Credits & setup
The instructor shares the Google Cloud credits with the room. Everyone gets their environment ready — whichever tool they brought. Nobody should be installing anything once the build starts.
- 0:30 – 1:35Build
Heads down, and enjoy it — this is the part everyone came for. The agent does the typing; you decide what it's making. Ask the room when you get stuck; someone two seats away hit the same wall ten minutes ago. Want more structure? The codelab walks the spec-driven route — Setup → Plan → Review → Build → API → Verify — but nobody has to follow it.
- 1:35 – 2:00Share & submit
Show the room what you made — two minutes, screen-shared from your seat. Half-finished is welcome; the wobbly ones are usually the most interesting. Say what surprised you along the way, and cheer for everyone else while you're at it. Then submit your build before you leave. This is the one thing not to skip — it's what puts your name and your chapter on the showcase, and it takes about two minutes.
