The API Layer provides backend route handlers and utility functions for core features including authentication, resume management, job matching, pathways, chat interactions, and report generation. It orchestrates data flow between client requests, Supabase (for data storage), and OpenAI (for AI-driven text generation and embeddings).

Route handlers are organized by domain, such as /api/jobs, /api/resumes, and /api/pathways.

Pathways is an AI-powered career coaching feature within the JSON Resume ecosystem. It provides a suite of tools for interactive career management, including:

• Conversational Resume Editing: Use GPT-4.1 to modify your resume via chat (e.g., "Add my job at Microsoft as a Senior Engineer").
• Visual Job Exploration: An interactive graph visualization of matching jobs using ReactFlow.
• Voice Interaction: Hands-free usage supported by OpenAI Text-to-Speech (TTS) and voice transcription.
• Resume Parsing: Support for uploading PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, and image files to automatically generate a resume JSON.

JSON Resume supports a wide variety of themes, each with distinct architectural approaches and visual styles. Themes are typically implemented as React components using styled-components or utility-first frameworks like Tailwind CSS.

Common architectural patterns include:

• Styled-components: Used by most themes (e.g., Urban Techno, Tokyo Modernist, Professional) for layout and typography.
• Tailwind CSS: Used by the Tailwind Theme via twind for SSR-compatible utility styling.
• Metric-focused: Themes like Investor Brief and Data-Driven calculate and display key metrics (e.g., total years of experience, skill counts) derived from the resume data.
• Niche-specific: Themes tailored for specific roles, such as Government Standard (grayscale, formal), Developer Mono (monospace, technical), and Marketing Narrative (story-driven).

The Hacker News Job Processing Pipeline is an automated system designed to scrape, process, and index job postings from Hacker News "Who is Hiring?" threads.

The pipeline follows a three-step architecture:

1. Scraping: Fetches the latest threads and extracts raw job postings from comments.
2. AI Processing: Uses OpenAI GPT-5-mini to parse job descriptions into structured JSON, enriches company data, and generates human-readable summaries.
3. Vectorization: Generates semantic embeddings using OpenAI text-embedding-3-large to enable semantic search (e.g., matching resumes to jobs).

Data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL) and Pinecone for vector search.

The Consultant Polished theme is an elegant, structured JSON Resume theme designed for narrative-driven consulting, strategy, and advisory roles. It follows a design philosophy similar to a professional consulting deck: sophisticated, restrained, and balanced.

• Color Palette: Features a navy accent color (#0b1f3a) for professional sophistication.
• Optimization: Print-optimized and ready for PDF export.

The Resume Company Enrichment System is an automated pipeline designed to extract company names from resumes and enrich them with detailed dossiers using Perplexity AI.

The workflow follows these steps:

1. Extraction: Unique companies are extracted from resumes in the database and tracked in a resume_companies table.
2. Tracking: The system uses a dedicated table to manage company names, normalization, and enrichment status.
3. Enrichment: Companies are enriched with Perplexity AI to generate dossiers (industry, size, business model, etc.).
4. Maintenance: Data is refreshed yearly to ensure accuracy, and the system avoids duplicate API calls by using normalized names and unique constraints.

The Government Standard theme is a formal, conservative JSON Resume theme specifically designed for roles in government, defense, compliance, and civil service. It prioritizes document clarity and ATS (Applicant Tracking System) compatibility over visual aesthetics.
