T.R.E.X is a cutting-edge, AI-native career and relocation decision-support platform. It is engineered specifically for freshers and seasoned professionals navigating path-critical decisions in the modern tech landscape. Whether you are wondering if moving to Bangalore is worth the 50% salary hike after considering the 80% rent hike, or you are trying to understand why your resume isn't getting past the first automated screening, T.R.E.X provides the data-backed answers you need.
Traditional job portals give you listings; T.R.E.X gives you Intelligence. We bridge the gap between "getting a job" and "building a life" by quantifying soft variables like city stress, transport quality, and semantic resume alignment.
The name T.R.E.X stands for Total Relocation & Employment eXpert, symbolizing a powerful, ancient force (the dinosaur) re-engineered for the modern digital age. Just as a T-Rex dominated its ecosystem, our platform aims to dominate the career-tech space by providing unparalleled insights.
The City Analyzer is a high-performance dynamic engine that evaluates 50+ Indian tech hubs based on real-time cost vectors. It has been upgraded from static JSON lookups to a dynamic analysis framework that answers the "What is my take-home after expenses?" question with surgical precision.

The UI provides a glassy, transparent interface to view:
- Rent Forecasts: Shared vs Solo for 1BHK/2BHK.
- Lifestyle Buffers: Food, utilities, and entertainment costs.
- Savings Probability: How much you can realistically save.

Core Upgrades:
- Brutal Honesty: No more vague praise. The AI identifies specific architectural gaps and weak phrasing.
- Technical Depth: Inspects projects for data flow, scalability, and measurable outcomes.
- Ordered Roadmap: Provides a step-by-step learning path for identified skill gaps.
- Strategic Advice: Suggests target companies and role seniority based on current readiness.

T.R.E.X follows a decoupled micro-service-oriented architecture designed for high-throughput AI inference.
- Frontend (Next.js 15): The presentation layer. Uses a Multi-Card Reporting Engine with severity-based logic.
- API Gateway (FastAPI): Handles validation, entity extraction, and JD preprocessing.
- Core Processing Pipeline:
Resume Parser: Robust PDF text extraction + normalization.Role Preprocessor: Structured extraction of company/role metadata.Regex Entity Extractor: Captures contact info and social links.
- AI Backend (LangChain + Groq): Orchestrates the Senior Persona prompts and parses 8-card JSON responses.
We handle broken line joins, inconsistent bullet points, and redundant whitespaces to ensure the LLM receives clean, structured data.
# app/services/resume_parser.py
def normalize_text(text: str) -> str:
# Fixes broken line joins like "Soft-\nware" -> "Software"
text = re.sub(r'(\w+)-\n\s*(\w+)', r'\1\2', text)
# Normalizes diverse bullet styles (•, ●, -, *) into a standard list format
text = re.sub(r'^[ \t]*[•●○▪■-][ \t]*', '- ', text, flags=re.MULTILINE)
return text.strip()Before the AI even sees the resume, our regex engine identifies critical metadata to ground the AI's reasoning.
- Contact Info: Robust patterns for international phone formats and valid email schemas.
- Social Links: Heuristics to detect LinkedIn profiles, GitHub repositories, and personal portfolios.
- Name Detection: Heuristic analysis of the first 3 lines of the document.
We don't just pass the raw JD to the AI. We extract:
- Company Context: Identifying the hiring organization via keyword proximity ("at", "join", "About").
- Seniority Tiers: Detecting levels like "Junior", "Senior", "Lead", or "Staff".
- Skill Bucketing: Separating "Requirements" from "Nice-to-haves" using header-pattern recognition.
The final score is not arbitrary. It is a calculation of:
- Match Percentage (40%): Literal and semantic keyword overlap.
- Structural Integrity (20%): Presence of name, contact info, and 4+ key sections.
- ATS Format Quality (20%): Flags for table usage, images, or low-content sections.
- Quantification Index (20%): Checks if the candidate uses digits/percentages to back their claims.
The relocation module uses a balanced weighting system to prevent "Salary Blindness".
# The Math behind the Magic
final_score = capped_savings_score + comfort_weighted - stress_penalty| Factor | Weight | Formula / Source |
|---|---|---|
| Savings Score | 50 Points | (Savings / Salary) * 100 (capped at 50) |
| Comfort Score | 30 Points | ((Transport + JobMarket) / 2) * 3 |
| Stress Penalty | -20 Points | (StressScore / 10) * 20 |
Example: Mumbai may have a Job Market Score of 10/10, but its Stress Penalty is often 18/20 due to traffic/rent, which leads to a balanced final score.
We utilize the LangChain-Groq framework for high-speed inference. Using the llama-3.3-70b-versatile model, we have "fine-tuned" the behavior through complex System Prompting and expanded context windows.
The AI is instructed to behave as a Senior Technical Recruiter and Engineering Manager.
- Stop Rating: The numerical score is calculated by our Python engine; the AI provides qualitative nuance.
- Be Brutal: It must point out exactly why a project sounds weak or why a tech stack is insufficient.
- Project Deep-Dive: Analyzes the complexity, architecture, and impact of mentioned projects.
- Actionable JSON: Returns an 8-card structured response including
overall_match,resume_weaknesses,roadmap, andapplication_strategy.
- Expanded Context: We increased the context window to 8,000 characters for resumes and 4,000 for JDs, ensuring even long-form documents are fully understood.
- Severity Mapping: Each AI card is tagged with a severity (
critical,major,moderate,minor) which the frontend uses to color-code the report. - Concurrency Control: A semaphore limits LLM calls to 1 at a time per instance to prevent CPU starvation.

}T.R.E.X is container-ready. Use the following command to build the backend:
docker build -t trex-backend ./backendWe recommend Google Cloud Run for hosting the FastAPI backend due to its "Scale to Zero" capabilities, which saves costs when the platform is not in use.
Our .github/workflows (if configured) ensure that:
- Every PR is linted with
flake8. - Frontend is checked for TypeScript errors.
- Commits are pushed to the
devbranch only after passing tests.

In upcoming versions, the platform will introduce the T.R.E.X Bot, an advanced conversational AI designed to provide personalized, long-term career coaching.
- Generative Responses: Instead of providing static, one-size-fits-all plain text outputs, the bot will use generative AI to dynamically tailor its responses. It will adapt its tone, detail level, and advice based on the user's specific conversational inputs.
- Persistent Data Storage: To create a cohesive coaching experience, user interaction data will be securely stored. This means the bot will "remember" past sessions, previous resume scores, and stated career goals, allowing it to provide cumulative, evolving advice rather than starting from scratch every time.
- Adaptive Input Handling: The bot's interface will dynamically prompt for different types of inputs depending on how the user responds to previous questions, creating a fluid, intelligent dialogue that mimics a real human mentor.
- Analysis Speed: ~150ms (Core Logic).
- AI Latency: ~2s (Groq Inference).
- Page Load (LCP): < 1.2s on Desktop.

By default, the start_backend.ps1 script sets PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1. This is critical for users working in OneDrive-synced directories, as it prevents thousands of __pycache__ file changes from flooding the cloud sync, which can freeze the system.
Thanks to the open-source community for LangChain, FastAPI, and Next.js.
T.R.E.X relies on high-performance libraries to ensure a sub-second response time (except for LLM inference):
- FastAPI: Chosen for its native asynchronous support, which allows the server to handle multiple resume uploads without blocking.
- LangChain-Groq: Standardizes the LLM interaction, making it trivial to swap Llama-3 with other models like Mixtral or Gemma if needed.
- Pydantic V2: Provides the fastest data validation in the Python ecosystem, ensuring that "garbage in" does not lead to "system crash".
- Framer Motion: The gold standard for React animations, used here to create the "springy" feel of the Glassy cards.
- No Persistence: By design, the current version of T.R.E.X does not include a database. This is a privacy feature: your resume text exists only in the volatile RAM of the API worker and is purged as soon as the response is sent.
- Sanitization: All inputs (JDs and Resume text) are stripped of non-printable characters to prevent prompt injection or script execution.
- TLS/SSL: When deployed to Cloud Run, all traffic is encrypted via HTTPS by default.
Developing T.R.E.X on Windows presents unique challenges, specifically with OneDrive and antivirus scanning.
- File Locking: We recommend using the provided
.ps1scripts which handle process-level variable setting to avoid persistent registry changes. - Node Modules: Ensure you are using a modern terminal (Windows Terminal) to avoid character encoding issues in CLI logs.
As T.R.E.X matures, we will implement the following versioning strategy:
/api/v1/: Current beta endpoints./api/v2/: Will include authenticated routes and PostgreSQL-backed persistence./api/v3/: Will introduce gRPC support for ultra-low latency between microservices.
