Hey developers! I built ResumeTrust AI to solve the issue of exaggerated resumes by cross-referencing candidate skills with their live GitHub activity natively.

⚙️ Key Backend Optimizations:

24-Hour Cache: Uses findOneAndUpdate to cache results and save Gemini API credits.

Data Privacy: In-memory PDF parsing with immediate auto-deletion from the server.

Security Gate: Backend-enforced 403 limits for candidate accounts.
