Build a Professional Brand in Tech
Technical content, talks, and OSS contributions that create senior-level opportunities.
Three Main Channels
- Technical writing: case studies, postmortems, RFCs in public.
- Talks: meetups and conferences (start local, scale up).
- Open Source: small, consistent contributions to relevant projects.
Quarterly Content Funnel
Pick one theme per quarter → publish three posts (concept, hands-on, real case) → give one talk → ship a sample repo.
Metrics That Matter
- Reach (views, followers, stars).
- Conversion (invites, interviews, partnerships).
- Authority (citations, backlinks, references).
Checklist
- Quarterly editorial calendar.
- Speaker kit (bio, headshot, talk abstracts).
- Portfolio page with cases and links.
