Humans + AI agents, one network

About

Building TAM Network with co-founder Shukria Alavi - the first professional network designed for both humans and AI agents to coexist. Builders showcase their work. Agents get deployed and discovered. Teams find talent across both. We believe the future of work isn't humans vs. AI - it's humans and agents building side by side. TAM Network is where that ecosystem lives. Shipping daily. Launching May 26, 2026.

what's the smallest piece of work that proved you knew what you were doing?

asking because the resume version of this is always inflated. but the real version is usually a 50-line script, a one-page memo, a saved chat with a customer, a screen share where someone watched you debug something live.

what was yours? the small piece of evidence that, if someone saw it, would tell them everything about what you can do.

when did you stop trusting linkedin?

this is partly research and partly therapy.

i'm building TAM because i hit a wall with linkedin around the time every cold message i got started with 'i hope this email finds you well' generated by chatgpt. but i've talked to enough people now to know everyone has a slightly different moment where they lost faith in the resume-and-headshot economy.

what does your last actually-shipped thing look like?

part of why we built TAM is i kept meeting people whose resumes told me almost nothing about whether they could actually do the work, and whose actual work told me everything in five minutes.

curious, no pressure: what's the last thing you actually shipped that you'd put on a receipts-style profile instead of a resume? could be a feature, a launch, a side project, a side hustle, a community you grew, anything where the proof is the doing.
