What I Accomplished
Side business:

  • I have been blocked on the calculation of the affinity score between a user resume and a job description that is the most important feature that my MVP should contains, otherwise there is any value added more compared to the competition.
  • Today I discovered and learn the basics of a AWS tool that will solve my problem and will make everything easier, my current workflow too.
Goals for the Next Week
Side business:

  • Migrate my current workflow to AWS Step Functions and be able to calculate the affinity score in batch.
