I built an AI that tailors my CV to any job — and won't lie on it

About
I'm a software engineer with 6+ years of experience, currently at BrainStation 23 PLC. I spend most of my time around databases, infrastructure, the cloud, and system design, and I'm always tinkering with Go, Python, and — lately — AI agents. This site is my learning journal: I write down what I'm figuring out, partly to remember it and partly to share it. I definitely don't have everything sorted, so I'd genuinely love to learn from you too — if something here resonates (or I got something wrong), tell me.
