Founder, Laxu Resume & Laxu AI
Founder of Laxu Resume and Laxu AI, building AI tools for students applying to internships, first jobs, and study programs. Previously Content Analyst & Knowledge Engineer at Yahoo (2023–2024), where the day job was extracting structured data from unstructured HTML pages — the same parsing problem that sits underneath resume tailoring and ATS scoring. Writes mostly about the honest version of "AI for resumes," how parsing actually works in real ATS deployments, and the resume changes that actually shift callback rates for student applicants.
