Many people are using AI to read and write resumes, so I thought I'd take a different approach.
This RAG-based approach has access to my resume and some other context and has been instructed
to pitch me to hiring managers who paste a job description in the box below.
Please note that this is a very basic implementation using PHP's curl_exec
to make
calls to OpenAI gpt-3.5-turbo
, so it's far from perfect.

I became an EMT-B in 2004, completed Wilderness EMT and Fire Academy in 2005, graduated from high school in 2006, and attended WPHSON. I took liberal arts courses through Clarion University and completed CCAC’s Paramedic program in 2007–2008. I’ve also done hundreds of hours of specialty training—HAZMAT, technical rescue, EVOC—and regularly recertify in courses like ACLS, PALS, NRP, and PHTLS.
I taught myself to code through books and homelab projects, eventually landing my first job as a Jr. PHP Developer. After being invited to Google FooBar, I got serious—studying algorithms, reading core texts, and grinding LeetCode. I now take regular courses on Coursera, DeepLearning.ai, and Pluralsight.
My current focus includes AI/ML, data science, cybersecurity, and cloud—building toward a DIY mini-MBA. I’m also a certified partner/reseller for AWS, Microsoft, GitLab, SentinelOne, and others, working through vendor training and certs.
An early Golang project I wrote, mostly as an exercise in learning Go. It allows users to declaratively map SSM Parameter Store keys to Kubernetes Secrets, and with 500k+ downloads, was an early method of secret management in Kubernetes.
A Chrome browser extension I wrote to provide high-quality default/normal values for assessment findings, like documenting Lung sounds clear and equal bilaterally instead of Normal. It also automated/templated boilerplate statements in the activity log.
I've contributed a few fixes to external-dns, including the ability to do inverse or negative domain matches (PR #835).
I've used k9s since the early days and have contributed a few fixes and an internal fork that provided detailed information on TLS certificate secrets
An experiment in storing xhprof (PHP) profiling information in a graph model
Another early Golang tool used to debug connection tracking tables in Kubernetes; required adding the feature to shirou/gopsutil
