About

Independent founder and platform builder with a background in IT infrastructure. I spent years watching smart people make career decisions based on guesswork and generic advice. That frustration led me to buildSmartRolePath.com Career Intelligence platform that analyzes your background against 50,000+ real job postings to surface personalized career paths with salary data, demand scores, and a step-by-step transition roadmap. I also build TrainingForFuture.com, a career intelligence platform focused on blue collar trades. Both platforms are built on the belief that every worker deserves data-backed guidance, not just people who can afford a career coach.

Building an AI tool to help people navigate career transitions, would love your input

Hey Product Hunt community

I'm Gene, a solo developer, and I'm launching SmartRolePath here soon. Before I do, I wanted to share the story and get your thoughts, since this community has shaped a lot of how I think about building in public.

A little over a month ago, I started building this after watching too many friends get laid off and freeze. Not because they weren't capable, but because they had no idea what their next move should actually be. The advice out there was either too generic ("just network more!") or too expensive (career coaching most people can't justify right after losing income).
