About

I'm the founder of Sidewayz 8 Solutions and Button'd, where I build AI tools, creative apps, and bold digital brands. I love taking ideas from zero to launch and turning them into products people actually use. I’m currently focused on SmartATS Resume, an AI-powered resume builder designed to help people beat applicant tracking systems and land more interviews. I also create design tools, viral-style apps, and brand experiences through my studio Button’d. I’m here to launch new products, connect with other builders, and keep pushing the edges of AI, creativity, and design.

Why I Built Smart ATS Résumé

The Problem

Over 90% of companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) like Workday, Taleo, and Greenhouse to screen resumes before a human ever sees them. Studies show up to 75% of resumes are auto-rejected not because candidates aren't qualified, but because their resumes aren't formatted or keyword-optimized for the software. Applicants are left confused and discouraged, never knowing why they didn't hear back.

Why Resumes Fail

How many versions of your résumé do you currently have?

One?
Three?
Ten?
People are all over the place curious where you fall.
