SkillsDecoder
I built SkillsDecoder because I watched case managers spend hours on employment documents that should take minutes — and I watched generic AI tools fail because they required staff to become prompt engineers.
After 15 years in workforce development, I knew the problem wasn’t that frontline professionals needed AI training. It was that AI tools needed better design.
SkillsDecoder generates professional resumes, cover letters, and interview preparation guides for job seekers facing barriers to employment. Form-based input. No AI training required. Privacy-first design built for the populations and contexts workforce professionals actually serve.
What SkillsDecoder Does
- Professional employment documents generated in minutes, not hours
- Purpose-built for workforce professionals — not a generic resume builder
- Form-based input designed for case managers and career coaches — no prompting, no AI literacy required
- Privacy-first: sensitive history handled with dignity in all outputs
- Population-specific modules: justice-involved (live), with youth, veterans, career changers, and more in development
- Supplements existing case management systems — doesn’t replace them
“The argument is simple: don’t train frontline staff to use AI. Design AI to fit how they already work.”
Case managers already fill out forms. They already enter participant data into systems. SkillsDecoder meets them there — no new skills required, no prompt engineering, no workflow disruption.
Where it started, where it’s going
SkillsDecoder launched with a focus on justice-involved populations — the community I know best and where the need is most acute. But the design principle applies everywhere workforce professionals help people navigate employment barriers. Population-specific modules for youth, veterans, people with disabilities, and career changers are in active development.
