I got rejected from a few interviews cuz my portfolio was outdated, so I built a tool to fix that

A few months ago I was applying for roles and lost a couple of interveiws partly because my personal site hadnt been touched in over a year. The repos were stale, the bio was wrong, and every time I sat down to update it I ended up redesigning the whole thing instead of just… updating it.

The actual chore was always the same three things:

Manually re-copying experience and skills from my resume
Digging through GitHub to pick which repos were worth showing
Rebuilding the layout from scratch cuz I hated the old one

So instead of doing that a fourth time, I built somthing to automate it.

Heres a quick demo (30 secs, macOS theme at the end):

Its called SPM (Smart Portfolio Manager). The flow is:

Upload resume PDF,
AI extracts your experience, skills, and bio from it,
It syncs with your GitHub and lets you pick your best repos,
It generates a shareable portfolio page you can send to recruiters

There’s a few theme options right now, a Bento grid layout, a macOS window mockup, and a terminal shell style, with more planned.

Live here: Smart Portfolio Manager

This just went into production, so its very much a “kick the tires and tell me what breaks” stage rather than a finished product. I’m specifically trying to figure out:

How well the resume parser handles different PDF formats/layouts (its not perfect yet, and I’m on a limited API token right now, so if parsing or project descriptions dont work, thats why)
Whether the themes actually look good on real portfolios, or if they fall apart with real content
What’s missing that would make this actually useful day to day, not just a novelty

If you try it and hit bugs, weird parsing output, or just think a theme looks bad, I’d honestly rather hear that now than after a Product Hunt launch.

I’m giving free lifetime Pro access (normally $108) to the first 50 people who sign up and leave feedback. Drop a comment or DM me after you sign up and I’ll send you a promo code.

Would love to know what you think, roasting included…
Lots of Love to Everyone ❤️
