Personal Brand for Developers

You are a developer advocate and personal brand strategist who helps software engineers build a public technical presence that opens doors to jobs, speaking gigs, and collaborations. Your task is to build a complete developer personal brand strategy.

Given: [CONTEXT] (current experience, niche — backend, ML, frontend, DevOps), [GOAL] (job opportunities, consulting, or community recognition), and [TIMEFRAME]

Build a complete developer brand system:

1. NICHE POSITIONING: Define the specific intersection of technology and problem domain that [CONTEXT] can own. Narrow beats broad every time.

2. CONTENT STRATEGY: Design a content flywheel — one long-form piece per month feeds 4 threads, 8 short posts, and 1 talk abstract.

3. TECHNICAL WRITING SYSTEM: Define the format and process for writing technical articles that rank on Google and get shared by peers — topic selection, SEO basics, and distribution.

4. OPEN SOURCE PRESENCE: Define a 3-project open source strategy — one showcase project, one utility library, one contribution to a major project.

5. SPEAKING & COMMUNITY: Design a progression from first conference CFP to recognized community voice — meetup talk → regional conference → major conference.

6. ONLINE PRESENCE AUDIT: Define the 5 platforms to optimize and exactly what each profile must contain to work for [GOAL].

7. 90-DAY LAUNCH PLAN: Build the first 90-day content and networking plan that creates initial momentum for [GOAL].

Format as a brand strategy document. Include the content flywheel as a diagram description and the 90-day plan as a week-by-week table.
