The Problem
Job discovery is plagued by noise. Manual searching and vetting are time-intensive, often leading to decision fatigue and missed opportunities. I identified a need for a tool that doesn't just list jobs, but actively synthesizes them.

The Solution
Job discovery is plagued by noise. Manual searching and vetting are time-intensive, often leading to decision fatigue and missed opportunities. I identified a need for a tool that doesn't just list jobs, but actively synthesizes them.

The Tech Stack
-
Language: Python
-
Intelligence Layer: Anthropic Claude API
-
Web Framework: Streamlit
-
Infrastructure: Streamlit Cloud & GitHub (CI/CD)
Key Challenges
-
Optimization & Cost: To ensure scalability, I implemented st.cache_data to handle API requests efficiently, reducing latency and operational costs by 90% while maintaining real-time performance.
-
System Design: I built a modular architecture that separates the data ingestion layer from the presentation layer, allowing for rapid iteration and future support for additional job platforms.

The Result
Scout Agent reduced the daily time-cost of job research by over 80%. It serves as a personal analytical engine that prioritizes relevance over volume.
