Day 0: Building HuntKit – My 100-Day System Design Journey

Many times before, I have tried to take up a lot of challenges to build stuff in public and learn in public.

Day 0: Building HuntKit – My 100-Day System Design Journey

I did end up finishing the projects and learning the things I planned to.

But I am never able to keep people updated. Which means I learn and build, but never in public.

So after a lot of mental preparedness, I am planning to do this.

I’ll start a system design learn in public series. I am reading an amazing book(not sponsored or affiliated) to learn this, along with reading various amazing articles for the same.

And the only reason I’m doing this? To become a better software developer by making my projects actually scalable

So, I am planning not to keep any deadlines as such for this one. I’ll just work one hour daily for this.

Every day, I’ll update what I learnt briefly on my X handle, and a little in detail, for people to follow along on my blog.

Every time I fail, is because of the random targets I throw at myself. Not this time, though.

Let’s keep it simple, real, and imperfect.

Goal: Build an AI job search agent that evolves from a broken MVP to a scalable system while learning system design concepts publicly.

The name of this project would be: HuntKit.

HuntKit is an AI agent that analyzes your dev profiles, scrapes company job postings, finds recruiters, and drafts personalized outreach emails—built specifically for developers.

20-Day Sprint Cycle For HuntKit

  • Days 1-3: Read chapter, share key learnings
  • Days 4-7: Plan features for this sprint
  • Days 8-15: Build the feature (expect it to break)
  • Days 16-20: Deploy iteration, write comprehensive blog post

Repeat 5 times = 100 days = 5 improved versions of the project

Right now it is only a thought, but 20-50 days later, hopefully it finds me some perfect fit jobs/internships.

And 100 days later, 1000s(or even more) of others like me.

100 hours = 1 problem solved.
