Skills Over Paper

Skills Over Paper addresses the growing gap between traditional education and tech industry needs by focusing on demonstrable skills. The platform lets developers build career-ready portfolios through project-based learning tracks in high-demand areas like Generative AI, Web3, and Data Science. Users upload their existing resume to create a living document that automatically incorporates new projects, completed courses, and skill verifications. Unlike static resumes, this dynamic profile helps job-seekers showcase exactly what they can build rather than just where they studied. The service particularly benefits self-taught developers, career changers, and those without formal CS degrees by connecting them with employers who prioritize hands-on capabilities over paper credentials. While the platform doesn't replace fundamental knowledge, it provides structured paths to develop and prove in-demand technical skills through real-world applications.
