Optimize your LinkedIn profile to attract recruiters and show up with confidence. I’ll guide you on how to improve visibility, structure, and tone.

Want to grow, pivot, or freelance but don’t know how? We’ll build a step-by-step plan to get you there — clear, realistic, and exciting.
You write the code, I guide the thinking. Perfect for leveling up your skills with real-time help and feedback — like working with a senior dev.
