Bright Resume Builder
An open-source resume-building platform built with Next.js and organised as a monorepo with shared packages, designed so new features can be added without restructuring the codebase.

01
Overview
Bright Resume is an open-source resume-building platform. I developed and maintained the application, and structured it for people other than me to work in.
02
The Problem
In an open-source project the codebase is the documentation. Structure, naming and package boundaries decide whether a contributor can find the right file, and whether the next feature fits or forces a rewrite.
03
My Approach
Design the repository around the parts that get reused. A monorepo with explicit shared packages makes the boundaries visible: what is application, what is shared, and where a new capability belongs.
04
Architecture & Technical Decisions
apps/
packages/
Dependencies point one way. Applications consume shared packages; shared packages never import an application.
- Next.js and TypeScript for the application layer.
- Tailwind CSS for styling, keeping presentation close to markup and consistent across contributors.
- Monorepo architecture with shared packages designed for scalability.
- Structure chosen for maintainability and future feature expansion.
05
My Contribution
- Developed and maintained the application using Next.js.
- Structured the project using monorepo architecture.
- Designed shared packages for scalability.
- Focused on maintainability and future feature expansion.

Outcome
An open-source project demonstrating scalable frontend architecture and reusable code organization, publicly readable end to end.
