Problem Solver · Operator · Resume Gardener

I find what’s broken
and fix it. Platforms,
processes, resumes.

I’m an operations lead, developer, and problem solver with six years at Scrimba, an online coding education platform. Before that, a government paper pusher — so I know what a career switch feels like from the inside.

I’ve built and run community programmes, maintained and developed platform features, reviewed and edited technical courses, and managed email campaigns reaching over 9 million sends.

I get things organised, get things fixed, and get things shipped. And I garden resumes 🌼.

Your resume gardener 🌼

What if you don’t need fixing? What if you just need repotting?

A gardener doesn’t force plants to grow, or flowers to bloom. She provides the right conditions for it to happen, and guides the plant to the right place. That’s what a good resume review does — your experience is already there, it just needs light, space, and pointing the right way.

Kind, honest, written reviews. Pay what you can, from $10. Can’t do $10? There’s a swap, and one free review drawn from my mailing list every month.
