Problem

Job applications quickly become difficult to manage across job boards, emails and documents. Follow-ups, closing dates and the resume version used for each role can easily be lost.

Solution

ApplyTrackr turns the application process into a visible pipeline with structured records, upcoming actions and performance reporting.

Key features

• Full application CRUD and pipeline statuses
• Quick Add from pasted job descriptions
• Local rule-based extraction for company, role, salary, skills and closing dates
• Follow-up dashboard and filtering
• Resume version and cover-letter snapshot management
• Performance reporting by resume and career category
• Responsive desktop and mobile interface

Technical decisions

The parser intentionally runs locally using TypeScript rules rather than sending job descriptions to an AI service. Low-confidence fields remain blank so the user can verify them instead of accepting unreliable generated data.

Privacy

Application records can contain personal career information. A future demo will use a separate seeded database with fictional employers and roles.

What I learned

I improved my skills in information extraction, confidence-aware UX, relational modelling and designing analytics around a practical personal workflow.
