Engineering
The Decisions Behind It.
What made this hard?
In a drag-and-drop editor it is easy to couple the user's data structure to the visual output, and then adding one template turns into a rewrite.
How was the system structured?
Resume data and template rendering are fully separate: the data lives in a normalized schema and templates interpret it. That is what lets a user switch templates in one click without retyping content. PDF export goes through the same render layer as the on-screen preview, so the output matches what was previewed.
What does the codebase look like now?
Responsibility between Firebase auth and MongoDB storage is explicit: identity belongs to Firebase, document data to MongoDB. Adding a template is a documented process bounded by implementing one defined interface.
