Skills
One workspace, five moves.
Each stage feeds the next. Write your career down once and the rest of the product has something to work with.
One set of facts. Four ways to set it.
Templates change presentation, never content. Switch whenever you like — nothing you wrote gets rearranged or lost.
Every template exports to a real A4 PDF with selectable text and working links — not a picture of a web page.

Summary
Front-end engineer with four years building and maintaining shared interface systems. Most comfortable at the seam between design and engineering — turning an agreed visual language into components other teams can move quickly with, and keeping them accessible as they grow.
Experience
- Shipped the booking flow used across 40 venue clients on web and tablet.
- Maintained the studio's internal React starter and its documentation.
Projects
An offline-first tide and swell reader for the Atlantic coast, built as a progressive web app.
- Caches a fortnight of forecast data so the app stays useful without signal.

It sharpens your wording. It will not invent your record.
Most of what makes a resume weak is phrasing, not substance — responsibilities where results belong. That is the part a model can genuinely help with.
Was responsible for the component library and helped other teams use it.
Rebuilt the shared component library adopted by four product teams, and wrote the migration guide they shipped against.
- Kept every fact you wrote
- Named the artefact, not the responsibility
- Left the number blank — ELARA will not invent one
- 01
It never adds a fact
No invented employers, degrees, dates or certifications. If something is not in your profile, it does not appear in your resume.
- 02
It never invents a number
Metrics are the first thing a rewrite wants to fabricate. ELARA leaves a gap and asks you for the figure instead.
- 03
You approve every change
Suggestions arrive beside your text, not in place of it. Nothing is written to your resume until you accept it.
Keep a role. Then keep track of it.
Search openings, save the ones worth your time, and aim a resume at any of them. Anything you apply to appears on the board with its stage and what happens next.

On a phone the board becomes a single ordered list, because a horizontal kanban on a 390px screen is a worse way to read your own search.
Start with one thing
Write it down once.
Add a role, a project, a course — whatever you have. Everything else in ELARA is built from that, and it is yours to export whenever you want it.
