The first is withfire.app, which is basically a productization of the AI driven resume tailoring pipeline I used during my last job search. The landing page is still (AI) sloppy, but I think it has some neat features:
- a slick bookmarklet intake system for new job postings - just click the bookmarklet and the job is parsed automatically and added to your list
- improve-over-time tailoring: each tailoring will find skills the posting mentions that you don't have in your profile and ask you whether you have that skill, so your profile gets better and more specific over time
- nice, human-looking output options that look almost pixel for pixel like the hand-rolled resumes I used to submit
This system increased my hear-back rate for jobs by ~5x when I implemented it, and I figured it might be worth productizing. If you're interested in poking at please feel free to reach out! This is the first app I've ever built using AI end-to-end and it's been an awesome learning experience.

The second thing I'm working on is an astrophotography tool called ministar (https://github.com/galbacarys/ministar). The premise is basically, let's automate the hard parts of untracked astrophotography by using plate solving to help you point your camera to your target, and then live-stacking the result taking into account the rotation of the Earth. It's very early days and hacky as fuck, but i'm hoping to port it to Linux/Raspberry pi in the near future so that you can use just a DSLR, a 3 way head, a tripod, a power bank and an SBC for a minimal but high quality astronomy setup anywhere. I took my first shots of the h-Persei cluster last night and the results were really great, I'm hoping to get a longer shot at Andromeda later this week.
If you're interested in either of these and wanna chat, ping me at gabethebando (at) proton (dot) me, I'm kinda loving this brave new world where my side projects actually gain enough legs fast enough for me to stay interested in them
