The evidence behind a candidate match.

Help people understand the reasons behind a match.

Where this work fits

A score can suggest that someone fits a role without explaining why. The person reviewing it needs to see which requirement is supported, which conflicts with the profile, and which cannot yet be answered.

MY CONTRIBUTION

I brought matching factors and their reasons into candidate and job views. People could inspect supporting experience and distinguish a match from a mismatch or an unanswered question. Shared components kept those meanings consistent across the interface.

THE IDEA, ILLUSTRATED

MATCH & RANK · OPEN THE REASON

From a verdict to the evidence.

THE OPENING NEEDSBuild backend servicesPlatform engineer
ALEX’S PROFILE

Built an inventory API and background jobs to sync product records.

Experience 01 + 02

MatchRelevant work supports this requirement.

Each factor connects a job requirement to the candidate’s experience.

A job requirement is paired with the experience that supports it. Other factors reveal a mismatch or a question that still needs an answer.

THE ENGINEERING DECISION

Missing evidence is different from a mismatch.

A simpler display would have been misleading if it flattened every factor into yes or no. The work preserved match, mismatch, and unknown states, then let people inspect the evidence without making them read everything at once.

The skills behind the work

Vue / Nuxt
Connect backend behavior with a usable, responsive product interface.
API contracts
Keep the meaning and format of information consistent between communicating systems.
Evidence attribution
Connect a claim or skill with the experience that supports it.
THE WIDER RESULT

People could move from a verdict to the reason and the experience behind it. The interface made uncertainty visible and reduced conflicting presentations of the same candidate.

READ THIS IN CONTEXTI made the reasons behind a match available to inspect. →
Related contributionsConsistent matching information across viewsI worked across service contracts and product views to keep candidate information consistent. A factor needed to retain the same meaning when it moved between the job context, candidate profile, and the explanation shown on screen.Skills linked to supporting experienceI improved connections between skills and the career experience supporting them. The work also preserved the distinction between absent information and an explicit answer, so downstream matching did not silently treat the two as equivalent.
