About

Passionate about the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, and Developer Relations, I focus on building impactful tools, fostering vibrant communities, and driving growth through technical expertise and strategic communication. My journey includes creating Resume Matcher (resumematcher.fyi), an open-source AI/ML tool leveraging Python, NLP (Spacy, NLTK), and Vector Databases (Qdrant) to analyze resumes against job descriptions. As its creator and lead maintainer, I've driven its growth to 8.8K+ GitHub stars, adoption by 30K+ users worldwide, and cultivated a community of 1.1K+ members, showcasing my ability to lead end-to-end AI projects from concept to successful open-source adoption. As a Developer Relations & Advocate at SWIRL, I defined and executed DevRel strategies, created high-impact technical content (blogs, tutorials, demos) reaching over 300K developers, and contributed significantly to open-source project growth (2.7K+ GitHub stars, 28K+ downloads). My technical foundation was built as a Software Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), delivering robust full-stack enterprise applications using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, and TypeScript. Recognized for my contributions to Technical Writing (DEV.to Author of the Year 2023, 270K+ article views), I excel at making complex topics accessible. I've also actively built and nurtured developer communities, organizing large-scale events (Git Commit Show, 3000+ attendees) and growing online communities (5K+ members at Invide Labs), complemented by mentorship experience with Google Summer of Code. Core Expertise: ■ AI/Machine Learning: NLP (Spacy, NLTK), Vector Databases (Qdrant), Embeddings, Semantic Search, Python ■ Software Engineering: Full-Stack Development (React, Next.js, Angular, Spring Boot, FastAPI), Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, API Design ■ Developer Relations & Growth: Community Building, Technical Content Creation, Open Source Strategy, Documentation, SEO, GTM Support Let's connect! I'm always eager to collaborate on innovative projects that make technology more accessible and impactful. Explore my work at www.srbhr.com or reach out at srbh077@gmail.com.

Resume matcher

Lead Software Development Engineer

Jan 2021Present · 5 yrs 4 mos

  • I started Resume Matcher in 2020 because I was frustrated watching people pay $200/year for tools like JobScan and Rezi.ai when the core problem, optimizing resumes for ATS systems, could be solved with open-source software. Five years later, it's scaled to 100K+ clones and a 2,400-member Discord community.
  • What I shipped:
  • ・Full-stack rewrite (Dec 2025) migrating from a Python script to a production-grade app using Python, FastAPI, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and LiteLLM
  • ・100+ LLM provider support via LiteLLM, allowing users to bring their own API keys or run completely locally with Ollama (no data sent externally)
  • ・PDF parsing (Markitdown), backend PDF generation (Playwright), and keyword optimization to ensure resumes pass ATS filters
  • ・Master resume → tailored resume flow: users upload a base resume + job description, the tool generates an optimized version, then they edit in a built-in resume builder and download ATS-friendly PDFs
  • Tech Stack: Python, FastAPI, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, GitKeep (DB), LiteLLM, Ollama, Playwright, Markitdown
  • Beyond code:
  • ・Managed 300+ issues/PRs using automation tools (Cubic for code review)
  • ・Built product roadmap based on community feedback (e.g., local-first privacy with Ollama)
  • ・Accepted into Vercel OSS Program 2025 for free hosting, infrastructure credits, and support
  • ・Received emails from users worldwide (US, China, India) reporting successful job interviews after using the tool
  • Philosophy: Resume Matcher is COSS (community open-source software)—free forever, with plans to sustain via sponsorships like Aerospace and Yazi, not paywalls.
