The Perfect Tech Resume

Most tech resumes don't get rejected — they get ignored. They read like job descriptions instead of proof of impact, and they disappear into the ATS before a human ever sees them. Join me for a hands-on session where we'll break down what actually makes a resume land interviews — from bullet structure to formatting to the cuts most candidates are afraid to make. With experience at Microsoft, Slack, Salesforce, Ramp, and Atlassian — and having helped clients land 100+ offers at Google, Meta, Adobe, and more — I've reviewed hundreds of resumes and seen the same fixable mistakes over and over. Every bullet should pass one test: does it show what you did and what changed because of it? If not, it goes. We'll cover the formula that works, rewrite weak bullets live, and walk through real before-and-after examples. Whether you're actively job searching or building your materials for the next move, you'll leave with a clear framework for turning your resume into a one-page highlight reel that gets replies.

Design Beautiful Presentations with Claude [5/19/2026] (Recording)

Build Anything Series · Event 02 · Free · Live Most people use Claude as a writing assistant and stop there.

In this hour, we'll build presentations end-to-end with Claude — from a one-line brief to polished, on-brand slides. No templates, no stock-photo aesthetic, no drag-the-text-box-three-pixels-left. What we'll build live: - Generate a deck from a one-line brief — outline, structure, narrative arc, all in one prompt loop - Iterate without leaving Claude — slide-by-slide refinement using structured prompts (not "make it better") - Export polished, on-brand presentations — color systems, type, layout, rendered cleanly Who it's for: - Coaches, consultants, founders, PMs who present often and hate the deck-building tax - People who've prompted Claude for design work and gotten generic results - Anyone who wants their slides to feel like theirs, not a SaaS template Not a fit if: - You're already a senior visual designer with a tight workflow - You want to learn pure Figma/Keynote craft — this is about directing AI to do most of the work We'll talk about where Claude excels (structure, narrative, copy, layout systems) and where it still needs you (taste, judgment, the final 10% of polish). Bring a real project you'd like to work on — fastest way to learn.
