Building a Resume Review and Revise System with Generative AI and Flask

The last two sessions of my live stream, Code Break, have been really interesting, at least to me anyway. I’ve been discussing generative AI with Google Gemini and building a relatively simple example while doing so – a resume review and revisement system. This started off pretty simply with a Python script and then iterated into a proper Flask app. I thought it would be fun to document the code here a bit and share it with those who couldn’t make the streams. If you would rather just watch the recordings, I’ve got them embedded at the bottom. Feel free to skip to that. Step One – The Script For my first iteration, I built a simple Python script that: Uploaded the... more →

Simple Blog Example in Flask

As part of my efforts to improve my Python knowledge, I’ve been looking at the Flask framework for a way to build Python-backed web apps.
