7.1 → 8.6 in 30 days. The stage is huge: TEDx, Red Hat Summit, Leaders of Impact, 13.4K followers, a patent. But the headline is a keyword wall that buries ‘Technical Lead,’ names neither the AI-systems work nor a target level, and frames an award-winning leader as an IC.

Read by an insider, not an algorithm.
Your headline today
“Senior Full-Stack / AI Engineer · Technical Lead · React · Node · AWS · LangGraph · Ex-United”
A pipe-delimited keyword wall. It buries the leadership, names no target level, and anchors on ‘Ex-United’ over the bigger Discover story. The room files you as an IC.
After · your rewritten headline, yours to paste

5 · Your hidden assets
What your profile is not saying.
Stage
TEDx · Red Hat · 13.4K
TEDx speaker, Red Hat Summit 2026 on responsible AI, Leaders of Impact, and 13,445 followers behind active original content. A platform almost no engineer builds.
Receipts
Patent · $40M · 1000+ pipelines
5.9 years at Discover with patent work, a no-code platform onboarding 1000+ pipelines, a 70% load cut. Real, quantified impact behind the stage.
The drag
A leader, framed as an IC
The headline names neither the responsible-AI work nor a target level. An award-winning leader, read as an individual contributor.
6 · Your three moves this week
1
Rewrite line one of your headline. Lead with Technical Lead + responsible-AI systems + a target level, not the framework list.
2
Pin TEDx, Red Hat Summit, and Leaders of Impact to Featured, so the stage is the first thing the room sees.
3
Ask one VP or CTO who endorses you to sponsor you by name for the Staff / AI-lead track.
