Sneaking in at the buzzer to share this blurb that I've been working on to give folks some quick context on me as part of my job search It feels too long tbh, think I'm going to condense it down to some bullets and then attach a resume that has more info + links about each chapter Would love any feedback, thanks!

I actually really enjoy the way you wrote this, a bio thru a storytelling lens, ending with that last paragraph like boom, boom, boom. I learned a lot about you and it sparked curiosity.

congrats on your first /firstdraft! cool to see this in writing finally I'm curious for others' feedback but I agree you'll probably want to cut and paste into a smaller blurb, depending on the intro you're looking for. Also depending on audience might need to spend some time explaining what Farcaster is / why it's interesting to you

First two paragraphs need to sound more like the last one - focus on concrete accomplishments Need to clearly state what you want to do (alignment, and also fast filter on bad fits) I'd like the whole thing to be more specific. i.e. What about consumer products? Do you want to drive mass adoption? Help people love better lives? Make a shitload of money because it's counter narrative? The vibe is good, it feels personal. But it's not demonstrative enough for me ATM as to what makes you special and the perfect fit for a role. Cc @samantha - my actual guru for this stuff Lastly, mad props for doing this in public. 100% sure it will pay dividends. Feel free to DC if you ever want to have a convo and think I can be helpful. Good luck :)

I think the last paragraph is really strong because it shows your ability to make shit happen , 100% agree on converting to bullets though It might be context dependent but I think being more explicit about what you want in a role and what your skills are could help too! Rather than having the other person infer it

- user-obsessed and passionate in the same sentence feels heavy handed - “started my career at Suki” and “I hustled my way in” feel like two different companies, but only after completing the paragraph I realized it was the same; felt redundant - I think it’s okay to omit names of lesser known companies since they don’t add much context, and instead make it crystal clear what the company was building and what your contribution was - links to demos and articles of course are helpful but might be better served either as footnotes* or if the formatting allows, more subtle links. The sprinkles of Obsidian colored links break the natural flow of reading a bit - “recovering from burnout and contracting” reads like the same thought but I imagine you meant you recovered, then started contracting - would replace “frames” with mini apps since the former has no meaning to anyone who hasn’t been on Farcaster (most people) and even the link to Farcaster likely won’t provide that definition 1/2

Love the deep dive, but I'd also do a TLDR/visual alternative - for younger HR ppl and executives. What I'd add to the TLDR: - list of all the achievements with links - any image that's relevant to the links above - make it one page max gl hf with the job hunt. PS: are you sure you don't want to start something else? I am asking because entrepreneurship is hard and almost impossible to get it right from the first try. but I presume you thought a long time about this...
