Looma
The Problem
The resume hasn't changed in 40 years. It's still a static, A4-sized PDF that flattens a human being's entire career into bullet points.
/ PDF IS DEAD
It fails to capture personality, it's easily falsified, and it's a nightmare to parse. Looma is an attempt to build the "anti-resume." A dynamic, verified, and interactive career record that lives on the web, not in a file folder.
The Vision
01 / TRUST
"Verified Blocks" where managers and peers explicitly sign off on skills and tenure.
02 / DEPTH
Video Intros and Audio Context attached directly to experience items.
03 / DISCOVERY
Semantic search so recruiters find "scaling databases" even if you wrote "optimized Postgres".
Engineering
Real-time by default
Built on Convex. Unlike traditional REST APIs where you poll for updates, Looma is reactive. hiring manager's view updates instantly via WebSocket subscriptions. State is synchronized across clients with optimistic updates.
RAG Pipeline
Indexes a user's entire career history. Uses OpenAI's text-embedding-3-small for ingestion. Hybrid search combines vector similarity for semantic understanding and keyword matching for specific tech stacks.
Trustless Verification
Architected a secure token-based workflow. Cryptographically secure tokens are generated, stored with expiration, and sent via email. The mutation validates the token and commits the "Verified" status atomically as a one-time-use capability.
