Welcome to my professional toolkit. Your go-to resource hub for leveling up your game in APIs, product, and technical writing. No matter your path here, this curated collection is designed to equip you with everything you need to excel as a leader in these three spaces: API, product, and technical writing.
**This list prioritizes quality over quantity. Everything is Google-able nowadays, and there’s a lot of bad strategies out there. Nothing on this list is something that I merely “Googled” to find. Every single piece of information is an actionable resource that I have used in my career.**
