Your code speaks every day.
But does the internet know you exist?
Over the years, I’ve seen incredibly talented engineers get overlooked—not because they lack skill, but because their work lives quietly inside repositories, internal tools, and private Slack threads. Outside their teams, their impact is almost invisible.
That never felt right to me.
<a href="https://digitalfootprintbook.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">This book</a> is my attempt to change that.
It’s about helping engineers make their work, ideas, and impact discoverable—without self-promotion gimmicks, without becoming an influencer, and without losing authenticity. Just a genuine, sustainable way to build a digital footprint that reflects the real value you create.
Sharing this in case it resonates with you.
