The problem

Yours is in that pile.

AI résumé agents flood inboxes faster than you can apply: two hundred and forty-four applications for every posting, and they read alike. The one that gets pulled carries something a résumé can’t hold: what you built, and who watched you build it. The rest of this page is how yours becomes that one.

What ends up on that sheet, from the founding chapter alone: a glacier model, a UN paper, a $10,000 first place, and the companies that hired the people who built them.
