The Core Philosophy

I noticed that many job seekers struggle with a tricky dilemma: write a plain text resume that bots can easily read but looks a bit dull to humans, or design a complex, creative layout in Canva or Figma that looks amazing but might confuse ATS parsing algorithms.

With Jobby, I wanted to build a simple, friendly helper! It uses a clean Markdown format that translates beautifully into two outputs at the same time:

1. A highly readable, semantic layout that parsers love.
2. A clean, elegant design that humans can read easily.

The Stack I Used

Building Jobby was such a fun learning journey! Here is the simple setup I went with:

• Frontend: Lightweight HTML bricks, styled with custom CSS variables.
• Backend: Gotenberg for PDF generation, which I set up using Docker.
• Data Privacy: An offline-first design that keeps everything safely stored in your browser's local storage. Your personal information never leaves your device!

I'm incredibly excited about how fast and secure Jobby is, and I hope it can help make the job application process just a little bit easier and less stressful for anyone looking for their next adventure!

I am so incredibly excited to share this space with you. This is where I compile my thoughts, document the technical things I learn, share my photography journeys, and write down reflections on theatrical improvisation and running.

The Idea Behind This Site

My goal was to create a simple, heartfelt space that brings together my daily tech explorations and my creative passions:

• The Builder side (Julien Avarre): Where I tinker with software architecture, write tools like Jobby, set up self-hosted server stacks, and learn orchestration.

• The Artist side (Éole): Where I explore photography, share laughs in theatrical improv, and run long distances in the beautiful mountains. By clicking or spinning the wheel in the top-left, you can easily switch between these views! It is a playful way to share the different things I love doing, all driven by the same enthusiasm for learning and creating.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I would be absolutely thrilled if you checked out my projects, and please feel free to reach out!
