About the Dev

Lanis Bratcher

Computer Science Student at Tennessee Tech University, graduating Fall 2026

I enjoy building tools that solve real problems for my peers, especially around productivity and job preparation in a market that seems stacked against students. I'm hopeful that anyone who uses this achieves success utilizing this tool!

This project was also an opportunity to improve my skills in full-stack development, data persistence through SQLite, and designing an appealing user experiences from scratch.

Why HireForge Exists

HireForge was built as a final project for CSC3100 with a simple goal: make resume building less painful and more structured for students like myself. It, however, has grown into much more. I thoroughly enjoyed building this and have pushed it beyond the requirements.

Instead of starting from scratch, this tool helps you organize your experience, skills, and achievements into reusable building blocks, then generate a resume, cover letter, or thank-you note tailored for recruiters and interviewers.
