Founder — helping people show their best work

The best interviews I ever had barely looked at my resume. They asked how I think — why I made a call, what I weighed, what I'd do differently. Those were the only ones that judged me on the real work, and they were rare.

Everywhere else, the resume decides it first — you're filtered by title, years, and a checklist of skills, often before anyone reads a word of what you actually did. The best remote specialists I know are judged worst by it: the hard calls, the pivots that shaped a career, all flattened into thin bullets that never make the page.

So I built Proud of Work to lead with your best work, not bury it. You write up the work itself — the problem, how you solved it, and the result — instead of a list of responsibilities. Skills aren't floating keywords here: each is tied to an achievement that proves it, so a short honest set beats a long unproven one.

The unit is the achievement, not the title, and your profile stays anonymous until a company unlocks it, so they judge the work before they know whose it is. The thinking that used to take a rare good interview is right there on the page, ready to read.

I'm an engineer, and a platform that asks for your trust should say who runs it. How your data is handled — anonymous by default, never sold — is spelled out here: Trust & your data.
